    Abstract: A circuit that receives a series a digital signal values from a digital circuit output where the output has a propensity to produce digital values with a metastable error. The circuit produces an analog output signal having values over time corresponding to the digital signal values. The circuit includes two data paths that receive the digital signal values and produce a delayed analog signal. One data path includes an analog delay and the other data path includes a digital delay and a digital to analog converter. The circuit uses the output of the two data paths to adjust a later output analog signal value that is produced by the analog circuit output subsequent to a former output analog signal value produced by the analog circuit output that corresponds to a digital signal value of the series with a metastable error to compensate for the metastable error in the output signal.

    Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator including force circuitry that receives an output digital signal and provides a forced digital signal with a predetermined force state based on a force control signal, a combiner that subtracts the forced digital signal from the output digital signal for providing a digital error signal, and force correction circuitry that converts the digital error signal into one or more analog error correction signals applied to corresponding inputs of loop filter circuitry. The digital error signal and the force control signal may each be used to develop corresponding analog feedback signals used to adjust an analog input signal. The digital error signal may also be converted to one or more correction signals applied to corresponding inputs of the loop filter circuitry to correct the output digital signal. The digital error signal may also be used by a digital noise cancellation filter to further correct the output digital signal.

    Abstract: A N-bit continuous-time sigma-delta modulator, SDM, (800) includes an input configured to receive an input analog signal (302); a first summing junction (304) configured to subtract a feedback analog signal (303) from the input analog signal (302); a loop filter (306) configured to filter an output signal from the first summing junction (304): an N-bit analog-to-digital converter, ADC, comprising at least one 1-bit ADC configured to convert the filtered analog output signal (309) to a digital output signal (314) where each 1-bit ADC comprises at least one pair of comparator latches (336, 356); and a feedback path (316) for routing the digital output signal to the first summing junction (304). The feedback path (316) includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converters, DACs, configured to convert the digital output signal (314) to an analog form. The ADC comprises or is operably coupled to, a calibration circuit (650, 840) coupled to an input and an output of the at least one pair of comparator latches (336, 356) and configured to apply respective calibration signals to individual comparator latches of the at least one pair of comparator latches (336, 356) in a time-Interleaved manner, and calibrate a comparator error of the comparator latches in response to a latched output of the respective calibration signals.

    Abstract: Interference cancellation is provided, according to certain aspects, by a filter, a signal detection circuit, synthesis circuitry and signal-generation circuitry. The filter is used to filter an incoming signal having an associated signal-to-noise metric and to output therefrom a filtered signal having an interference attribute of the incoming signal by amplification and/or isolation. The signal detection circuit is used to detect the interference attribute in the filtered signal. The synthesis circuitry is used to synthesize interference in the incoming signal based on the interference attribute. The signal-generation circuitry is used to generate, in response to the synthesized interference in the incoming signal, a filtered version of the incoming signal which provides an improved signal-to-noise metric.
