    Abstract: An apparatus for generating an output signal, may comprise a signal path having an analog signal path portion having an analog magnitude droop, a digital signal path portion having a digital magnitude droop, a digital-to-analog converter for converting the digital input signal into the analog signal, a first digital compensation filter that compensates for the analog magnitude droop, and a second digital compensation filter that compensates for the digital magnitude droop, such that the first digital compensation filter and the second digital compensation filter together compensate for magnitude droop of the signal path to ensure a substantially flat passband response of the signal path.An apparatus may include a delta-sigma modulator for quantization noise shaping of a digital signal, a digital-to-analog converter configured to generate an analog signal from the digital signal, and an amplifier configured to amplify the analog signal and powered from a charge pump, wherein the charge pump is configured to operate at a switching frequency approximately equal to a zero of a modulator noise transfer function of the delta-sigma modulator, such that the impact of charge pump noise on a total harmonic distortion noise of the apparatus is minimized

    Abstract: A system may include a resonant sensor configured to sense a physical quantity, a measurement circuit communicatively coupled to the resonant sensor and configured to measure one or more resonance parameters associated with the resonant sensor and indicative of the physical quantity using an incident/quadrature detector having an incident channel and a quadrature channel and perform a calibration of a non-ideality between the incident channel and the quadrature channel of the system, the calibration comprising determining the non-ideality by controlling the sensor signal, an oscillation signal for the incident channel, and an oscillation signal for the quadrature channel; and correcting for the non-ideality.

    Abstract: A multi-path subsystem may include a first processing path, a second processing path, a mixed signal return path, and a calibration engine configured to: estimate and cancel a direct current (DC) offset of the mixed signal return path, estimate and cancel a DC offset between the first processing path and the second processing path, estimate and cancel a phase difference between the first processing path and a sum of the second processing path and the mixed signal return path, estimate and cancel a return path gain of the mixed signal return path, and track and correct for a gain difference between the first processing path and the second processing path.

    Abstract: A system may include a resonant phase sensing system comprising a resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and a measurement circuit communicatively coupled to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor, and a compensation circuit. The measurement circuit may be configured to use a phase detector to measure phase information associated with the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and based on the phase information, determine a displacement of a metal plate relative to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor. The compensation circuit may be configured to detect a change in a physical property associated with the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor other than the displacement and compensate the phase information to correct for the change in the physical property.
