    摘要: A method is disclosed of compensating the output of an ADC for non- linearity in the response of the ADC. The methodcomprises converting an analog input signal to uncorrected digital ADC output samples, applying a vector of correction variables to each of a block of uncorrected ADC output samples to provide a block of corrected ADC samples, and iteratively minimizing a measure of the spectral flatness of the block of corrected ADC samples with response to the vector of correction variables.

    摘要: A hybrid tuning circuit is used consisting of a digital finite state machine and an analog tuning circuit to effectively keep the RC product of the continuous time integrator constant across process, temperature, supply, and sampling rate variations. Since the implementation is continuous, the tracking is more accurate than traditional techniques. Using a carefully chosen clocking scheme, the technique gets rid of inter-symbol interference in the feedback DAC. The technique does not use a reference frequency, thereby eliminating the need for a user to identify a reference frequency.

    摘要: A sigma delta modulator (100) includes a first circuit (102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 118) that receives an analog signal and provides an intermediate signal and a first quantizer signal and further includes a first quantizer (120) that receives the first quantizer signal and provides a first quantizer output. Also included are a second input circuit (128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140, 144, 146) that receives the intermediate signal and provides a second quantizer signal and a second quantizer (142) that receives the second quantizer signal and provides a second quantizer output. The first quantizer includes a programmable circuit (204, 208) having a first reference and a negative of the first reference, a first comparator (206) having a first input coupled to the first quantizer signal, a second input coupled to the first reference and a second comparator (210) having a second input coupled to the first quantizer signal a second input coupled to the negative. The first and second comparators have outputs that form the output of the first quantizer.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for improving the resolution and the correction of distortions in a sigma-delta modulator, wherein the modulator (200) converts an analog input signal e(t) into a secondary output digital signal s(t) sampled at a frequency fθ and encoded over NB bits, a second main output digital signal s’(t) represented over NMSB bits being also available at the output. At least three forms of processing are sequentially applied to the two outputs, the first form of processing (201) comprising a demodulation by a frequency f
    0 and an N-factor decimation (202, 203) in an independent manner, the second form of processing (204) comprising an improvement of the resolution and the third form of processing (208) comprising a correction of the distortions, the three forms of processing being carried out after decimation. The invention also relates to a sigma-delta modulator implementing the method of the invention.

    摘要: A continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (CV) comprises i) a signal path (SP) comprising at least one combiner (Cl) for combining analog signals to convert with feedback analog signals, at least two integrators (Hl, H5), mounted in series, to integrate the combined analog signals, a quantizer (Q) for converting the integrated signals into digital signals, and a decimation filter (DF) for filtering digital signals, and ii) a feedback path (FP) comprising at least a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for converting the digital signals output by the quantizer (Q) into feedback analog signals intended for the combiner (Cl). Each integrator (Hl, H5) comprises variable capacitance means arranged to be set in chosen states define by the values of a digital word, to present chosen capacitances. The converter (CV) also comprises a self-calibration control means (CCM) arranged a) to generate a digital word with a chosen first value, b) to estimate an in-band noise IBN(n) from the filtered digital signals and to compare this IBN(n) to the preceding IBN(n-l), c) to modify the digital word value to decrease the capacitance of each integrator from a chosen decrement when IBN(n) is smaller than IBN(n-l), d) to iterate steps b) and c) till IBN(n) be greater than IBN(n-l), and to choose as calibration digital word value the value corresponding to IBN(n- 1) to set the calibration state of the variable capacitance means.
