    Abstract: A recursive digital sinusoid generator generates recursive values used in the production of a digital sinusoid output. The recursive values are generated at a first frequency. A sinusoid value generator generates replacement values at a second frequency, wherein the second frequency is less than the first frequency. The generated recursive values are periodically replaced with the generated replacement values without interrupting production of the digital sinusoid output at the first frequency. This periodic replacement effectively corrects for a finite precision error which accumulates in the recursive values over time.

    Abstract: A latch circuit sequentially latches a first data weighted averaging (DWA) data word and then a second DWA data word. A first detector circuit identifies a first bit location in the first DWA data that is associated with an ending of a first string of logic 1 bits in the first DWA data word. A second detector circuit identifies a second bit location in the second DWA data word associated with an ending of a second string of logic 1 bits in the second DWA data word. A DWA-to-binary conversion circuit converts the second DWA data word to a binary word by using the first bit location and second bit location to identify a number of logic 1 bits present in said second DWA data word. A binary value for that binary word that is equal to the identified number is output.

    Abstract: A first sampling circuit takes phase offset first samples of a received serial data stream in response to a first edge of a sampling clock and a first comparator circuit determines whether the plurality of phase offset first samples have a same logic state. A second sampling circuit takes phase offset second samples of the received serial data stream in response to a second edge of the sampling clock, opposite the first edge, and a second comparator circuit determines whether the phase offset second samples have a same logic state. One of the first samples or one of the second samples is then selected in response to the determinations made by the first and second comparator circuits. A serial to parallel converter circuit generates an output word including the selected one of the first and second samples.

    Abstract: A continuous time Delta-Sigma (CT-ΔΣ) modulator has an input node configured to receive an input signal and an output node configured to output a digital output signal. The CT-ΔΣ modulator includes a feedback loop with a summation circuit configured to sum the digital output signal with a jitter perturbed test signal to generate a signal supplied to an input of a digital to analog converter circuit. A single tone signal is injected with a jitter error of a clock signal to generate the jitter perturbed test signal. A processing circuit processes the digital output signal to detect a signal to noise ratio of the CT-ΔΣ modulator. The detected signal to noise ratio is indicative of presence of jitter in the clock signal.

    Abstract: Data weighted averaging of a thermometric coded input signal is accomplished by controlling the operation of a crossbar switch matrix to generate a current cycle of a data weighted averaging output signal using a control signal generated in response to feedback of a previous cycle of the data weighted averaging output signal. The control signal specifies a bit location for a beginning logic transition of the data weighted averaging output signal in the current cycle based on detection of an ending logic transition of the data weighted averaging output signal in the previous cycle.
