    Abstract: Mismatch errors within oversampled analog to digital (ADC) and digital to analog (DAC) data converters limit the overall conversion accuracy. A circuit is provided which interchanges the analog segments within a multibit oversampled converter in a fashion to move the mismatch errors away from the overall converter's passband frequencies and towards other frequencies where they do not interfere with the signal to be converted. The circuit works by minimizing the differences in the signals which control the individual segments. Circuits may be provided for achieving first, second and higher order "shaping" of the mismatch errors. The invention also provides a circuit in which exchange of the analog elements with the DACs of multibit oversampled converters is effected using a circular queue, so moving the mismatch errors to high frequency where they do not interfere with the signal to be converted.

    Abstract: A digital sine wave may be converted to an analog signal at a digital to analog converter (DAC). The converted analog signal may be supplied to a device and an analog return signal from the device may be passed through a relaxed anti-aliasing filter and converted to digital code words at an analog to digital converter (ADC). An impedance may be calculated from the results of a Fourier analysis of the digital code words. The ADC and DAC clock frequencies may be asynchronous, independently variable, and have a greatest common factor of 1. The clock frequencies of the ADC and/or DAC may be adjusted to change a location of images in the ADC spectrum. By using these different, adjustable clock frequencies for the ADC and the DAC, an analog signal may have increased aliasing without introducing signal errors at a frequency of interest.

    Abstract: A drive signal for a motor-driven mechanical system has zero (or near zero) energy at an expected resonant frequency of the mechanical system. The drive signal may be provided in a series of steps according to a selected row of Pascal's triangle, wherein the number of steps equals the number of entries from the selected row of Pascal's triangle, each step has a step size corresponding to a respective entry of the selected row of Pascal's triangle, and the steps are spaced from each other according to a time constant determined by an expected resonant frequency of the mechanical system. Alternatively, the stepped drive signal may be provided as a series of uniform steps according to a selected row of Pascal's triangle, in which the steps are provided in a number of spaced intervals corresponding to the number of entries from the selected row of Pascal's triangle, each interval includes a number of steps corresponding to a respective entry from the selected row of Pascal's triangle and the intervals are spaced in time according to a time constant determined from the expected resonant frequency of the mechanical system. These techniques not only generate a drive signal with substantially no energy at the expected resonant frequency, they provide a zero-energy “notch” of sufficient width to tolerate systems in which the actual resonant frequency differs from the expected resonant frequencies.
