    Abstract: A dual delta-sigma modulator includes a first modulator, a second modulator, and a shared amplifier coupled to the first and second modulators. The first modulator includes an integrator configured to generate a first modulator output signal. The second modulator includes a second integrator configured to generate a second modulator output signal. The shared amplifier is configured to assist the first integrator integrating a difference between a first analog input signal and a first modulator output signal from the first modulator during a first period of time and to assist the second integrator integrate a difference between a second analog input signal and a second modulator output signal from the second modulator during a second period of time.

    Abstract: An exemplary circuit includes a tracking circuit, a current estimator, a switch control logic, and a switching load circuit. The tracking circuit tracks a digital output signal of a delta-sigma modulator (DSM) and provides a tracking signal representing an average of the digital output signal during a time period. The current estimator determines an amount of loading to be applied to positive and negative reference voltages based on the tracking signal. The switching load circuit is coupled to positive and negative reference voltages of the DSM, the switching load circuit connects a selected amount of loading to the positive and negative reference voltages in response to a control signal to balance a reference load current applied to the DSM. The switch control logic provides the control signal to the switching load circuit based on the determined amount of loading to be applied to the positive and negative reference voltages.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a source device coupled to an output circuit. The source device is configured to produce a sequence of digital values at a rate defined by a data period. The output circuit is configured to receive the sequence of digital values from the source device, generate a copy of each digital value at a predetermined point during the respective data period, and responsive to initiation of a data transaction during a given data period but before the predetermined point, output the digital value from the source device, whereas responsive to initiation of a data transaction during the given data period but after the predetermined point, output the copy of the digital value.
