    Abstract: A technique for excess loop delay compensation in delta sigma modulator. The delta sigma modulator includes a loop filter. The loop filter receives an analog input signal and an output of a digital to analog converter. A comparator receives an output of the loop filter and generates a digital output signal. A reference select logic unit receives the digital output signal as a feedback and generates one or more switching signals. One or more switches are coupled to the comparator and each switch receives a pre-computed reference voltage. The one or more switches are activated by the one or more switching signals in response to the digital output signal.

    Abstract: DC offset correction is provided with low frequency support. A first input terminal for receiving an input signal is selectively coupled to a resistance and a capacitor that are series coupled between the first input terminal and a corresponding output terminal. In a calibration phase, the series resistance is coupled between the input terminal and the capacitor and an average voltage level of the input is stored on capacitor. In a signal processing phase, the charged capacitor is coupled in series between the input terminal and the output terminal while the resistance is bypassed. The output signal obtained contains the high and low frequency components of the input signal, while the DC offset in the input signal is removed from the output signal. A differential circuit and methods are disclosed. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: In described examples, an analog to digital converter (ADC), having an input operable to receive an analog signal and an output operable to output a digital representation of the analog signal, includes a voltage to delay (VD) block. The VD block is coupled to the input of the ADC and generates a delay signal responsive to a calibration signal. A backend ADC is coupled to the VD block, and receives the delay signal. The backend ADC having multiple stages including a first stage. A calibration engine is coupled to the multiple stages and the VD block. The calibration engine measures an error count of the first stage and stores a delay value of the first stage for which the error count is minimum.

    Abstract: A dynamic voltage-to-delay device may have voltage lines for receiving input signals during reset phases, and a current source, connected to the first and second voltage lines, for increasing voltages on the voltage lines during active phases. The voltage-to-delay device may also have comparators, connected to the voltage lines, for generating first and second output signals during the active phases when the voltages on the voltage lines reach a threshold voltage, such that a delay between the output signals is representative of a difference between voltages of the input signals. The voltage-to-delay device may have at least two current sources. The comparators may have a tail node to which a voltage is applied during a reset phase, and a current source for reducing the voltage at the tail node, and thereby reducing a threshold voltage during an active phase.

The control circuit is coupled to the clock generation circuit and the flip-flop bank. The control circuit is configured to individually enable one or more of the flip-flops to change state responsive to the clock signal and consume a predetermined amount of power; and to provide a data value to be clocked into the flip-flops.
