The invention relates to a method for controlling the loop delay in a sigma-delta modulator that consists of a loop comprising at least one integrator (400, 500), an analog-to-digital converter ADC (401, 501), a digital-to-analog converter DAC (402, 502) and an adder-subtractor (403, 503), characterised in that at least one phase control programmable digital control (φ 1 , φ 2 ) representing an offset is applied to one of the clock signals of the loop converters in order to adjust the relative phase between the clock signal h 1 (t) of the ADC converter (401, 501) and the clock signal h 2 (t) of the DAC converter (402, 502).

The invention relates to a method for correcting amplitude and phase offsets in a sigma-delta modulator that includes a loop comprising at least one integrator (200, 300) consisting of a filter (201, 301) and an amplifier (202, 302), an analog-to-digital converter ADC (203, 303), a digital-to-analog converter DAC (204, 304) and an adder-subtractor (205, 305). The open-loop amplitude/phase frequency response ( ρ n , φ n ) of the modulator is digitally estimated. A phase offset value (Δφ) and an amplitude offset value (Δp) are calculated by comparing the estimated open-loop amplitude/phase frequency response ( ρ n , φ n ) with a reference amplitude/phase frequency response ( ρ n (ref) , φ n (ref ) ). The phase and gain offsets of the loop are compensated for on the basis of the estimated offset values (Δp, Δφ). The invention also relates to a sigma-delta modulator implementing said method.

A sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (80) includes first (81) and second (82) integrators, a quantizer (83) connected to an output of the second integrator (82), and a feedback circuit (84) connected to the output of the quantizer (83). In order to avoid the effects of delays through actual circuit elements, the feedback circuit (84) keeps the feedback signal to the first integrator (81) in a high-impedance state until the quantizer (83) resolves the output of the second integrator (82). Thus, the first integrator (81) avoids temporarily summing a possibly incorrect feedback signal. In addition, the feedback circuit (84) also keeps the first integrator (81) from integrating a sum of an input signal and the feedback signal until the feedback signal is driven to its correct state in response to the output of the quantizer (83). To accomplish these results, the feedback circuit (84) includes a compensation circuit (151) for continually determining when the quantizer (83) resolves.
摘要:
An analog to digital (A/D) conversion system (10 or 20) receives a modulated analog signal, translates the frequency of the signal to a lower frequency, and converts the analog signal to a filtered digital signal. In one form, the conversion system (10) has an analog signal multiplier (16), an A/D converter (18), an oscillator (12), and a frequency divider (14). Frequency multiplier (16) translates the frequency of the analog signal, and A/D converter (18) converts the analog signal to digital form. Frequency divider (14) receives a clock signal from oscillator (12) and divides the frequency of the clock signal. Because the same clock signal is used for frequency translation and analog to digital conversion, a phase error is not introduced in the output digital signal. Additionally, the frequency divider (14) forces the frequencies of the analog and digital signals to be an integer ratio for subsequent demodulation.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a delta-sigma modulator (DSM) using time-interleaved (TI) successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For example, two SAR ADCs may be configured to alternately sample and process an input signal and provide a feedback signal for the DSM using excess loop delay (ELD). In other aspects, the DSM may be implemented using a two-step SAR quantizer. For example, a first SAR ADC may sample an input signal to generate a most-significant bit (MSB) portion of an output of the DSM, while the second SAR ADC may subsequently sample a residue from the first SAR ADC conversion and generate a least-significant bit (LSB) portion of the output of the DSM. With these techniques, higher bandwidths may be obtained in high accuracy delta-sigma ADCs without using increased sampling rates.

Analog-to-digital converter devices and methods are provided, where feedback using a nonlinear digital-to-analog converter is used. In some implementations, such a nonlinear digital-to-analog converter feedback may be used to compensate extra loop delay while maintaining stability and/or not injecting any additional noise.

A delta sigma modulator which has improved the dynamic range. The ΔΣ modulator has a plurality of ADCs and a plurality of DACs, the plurality of ADCs and DACs are connected in a loop. The plurality of ADCs are coupled with an incoming analog signal. A clock generator provides a plurality of clock signals which control the plurality of ADCs and the plurality of DACs, the clock signals being offset relative to each other in the time domain thereby enabling each ADC in the plurality of ADCs one at a time and each DAC in the plurality of DACs one at a time so that the ΔΣ modulator processes data in the incoming analog signal in an interleaved fashion. The delta sigma modulator has an Nth order filter in a forward path of the loop.
