Abstract: For continuous-time multi-stage noise shaping analog-to-digital converters (CT MASH ADCs), quantization noise cancellation often requires accurate estimation of transfer functions, e.g., a noise transfer function of the front end modulator and a signal transfer function of the back end modulator. To provide quantization noise cancellation, digital quantization noise cancellation filters adaptively tracks transfer function variations due to integrator gain errors, flash-to-DAC timing errors, as well as the inter-stage gain and timing errors. Tracking the transfer functions is performed through the direct cross-correlation between the injected maximum length linear feedback shift registers (LFSR) sequence and modulator outputs and then corrects these non-ideal effects by accurately modeling the transfer functions with programmable finite impulse response (PFIR) filters.

Abstract: In one aspect, an electrical signal converter is disclosed. The exemplary electrical signal converter may include a plurality of ordered converter elements. Element selection logic may be provided to pseudorandomly select a pointer to a switch matrix, wherein the switch matrix maps converter elements according to a stepwise “delta-two-maximum pattern.” Advantageously, pseudorandom stepwise delta-two-maximum patterns may be applied both to a first order converter, and to a feedback converter for error correction.

Abstract: Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can be used inside ADC architectures, such as delta-sigma ADCs. The error in such internal ADCs can degrade performance. To calibrate the errors in an internal ADC, comparator offsets of the internal ADC can be estimated by computing a mean of each comparator of the internal ADC. Relative differences in the computed means serves as estimates for comparator offsets. If signal paths in the internal ADC are shuffled, the estimation of comparator offsets can be performed in the background without interrupting normal operation. Shuffling of signal paths may introduce systematic measurement errors, which can be measured and reversed to improve the estimation of comparator offsets.

Abstract: An integrated constant time delay circuit utilized in continuous-time (CT) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can be implemented with an RC lattice structure to provide, e.g., a passive all-pass lattice filter. Additional poles created by decoupling capacitors can be used to provide a low-pass filtering effect in some embodiments. A Resistor-Capacitor “RC” lattice structure can be an alternative to a constant-resistance Inductor-Capacitor “LC” lattice implementation. ADC architectures benefit from the RC implementation, due to its ease of impedance scaling and smaller area.

Abstract: Data converters convert signals in analog form to digital form or from digital form to analog form. Due to mismatches between devices that are intended to be identical (unary elements), some data converters outputs may have undesirable characteristics, such as non-linearities. Shuffling the inputs to the unary elements based on a pseudo-random sequence is a technique that can average out the mismatches over time. However, shuffling generally requires a complex switch matrix, and can potentially impact the speed of the converter. To address mismatches, a high speed technique for rotating comparator thresholds is implemented to effectively rotate an array of unary digital-to-analog converter elements. The technique is particularly advantageous for addressing mismatches in unary digital-to-analog converters used for reconstructing a quantized analog signal within delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter.
