摘要:
A delta sigma modulator of at least second order includes correction means applied to each feedback loop in the modulator, to account for systemic nonlinear output distortions. Since the output distortion is nonlinear, the correction applied to each feedback loop is nontrivially different. Such a corrected delta sigma modulator may be used in a demodulator including an output digital to analog converter (DAC) to account for systemic imperfections in the pulses formed by the DAC. The corrected delta sigma modulator is also useful in correcting output errors associated with high quality multilevel demodulators and class D power amplifiers. The corrected delta sigma modulator may be one bit or multilevel.

A digital to analog (D/A) converter for hearing aids and the like includes a delta sigma modulator and a duty cycle demodulator. The delta sigma modulator converts medium rate, high resolution data into medium rate, medium resolution data, and the duty cycle demodulator converts the medium rate, medium resolution data into low resolution, high rate data. The duty cycle demodulator utilizes a lookup function to format the output data in a format having lowered transition rates, resulting in lower power use. The delta sigma converter may include a correction factor in at least one of its feedback loops to compensate for the characteristics of the output data from the duty cycle demodulator.

A simplified keyboard for a terminal device, calculator, or the like, in which each key is sequentially scanned and parallel key code data is sent to an entry register. A pair of flip-flops in combination with firmware ascertain that only valid key code data is sent to the entry register for utilization by the system, providing double entry and key bounce protection. The firmware further provides N-key rollover and auto repeat with a variable repeat rate, and expands the keyboard from a single-mode to an eight-mode capability.

A converter system and method of operating a converter system are disclosed. The converter system comprises a converter power stage that can operate in a Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) in a range of output currents and a Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) in another range of output currents. The converter power stage includes at least an inductor with an inductor value and a control switch. The converter power stage provides an average current. A current controller is coupled to the converter power stage. When the converter power stage operates in DCM, the converter power stage provides the average current and the current controller is configured to measure the inductor value of the inductor. Furthermore, the current controller can also be configured to measure an input-to-output conversion ratio from the converter power stage.

A system for determining a data converter clock operating mode includes measurement circuitry which measures a master clock frequency of a master clock signal and a frequency ratio between a frequency of a data clock signal and the master clock frequency. A mapping system maps the measurements of the master clock frequency, the frequency ratio, and a characteristic of an additional data clock signal to an operating mode of the data converter. In another embodiment, the mapping system maps measurements of the master clock frequency alone to a data converter operating mode. In a further embodiment, the measurement circuitry measures the master clock frequency of a master clock signal, which is received directly from a master clock signal source without a modification in the master clock frequency.

A power factor correction (PFC) controller and method uses a finite state machine to adjust the duty cycle of a pulse width modulation (PWM) switching control signal. The PFC controller has a target current generator that receives the link output voltage and generates a target current proportionate to the rectified line input voltage. The PFC controller further includes a comparator which outputs a two-level current comparison result signal. The finite state machine responsive to the two-level current comparison result signal, generates a switch control signal that has a duty cycle which is adjusted for controlling the switch so that the sensed current is approximately proportionate to the rectified line input voltage, such that power factor correction is performed.

A system for determining a data converter operating mode includes measurement circuitry that measures a master clock frequency of a master clock signal received without a modification in frequency from a master clock signal source and that measures a frequency ratio between a frequency of a data clock signal and the master clock frequency. A mapping system maps the measurements of the master clock frequency and the frequency ratio to an operating mode of the data converter. In other embodiments, mapping systems map the measurements of the master clock frequency and the frequency ratio to an operating mode of the data converter based on mode priority constraints. In additional embodiments, mapping systems map the measurements of the master clock frequency and the frequency ratio to an operating mode of the data converter by narrowing the choices of master clock divide ratios and subsequently determining an operating mode from the frequency ratio.

Methods and Apparatuses are provided for automatically converting a word length of sample data being transmitted over a serial link. A serial interface transmits and/or receives one or more data words comprising digital signals, a bit clock synchronizes transmission of individual bits, and a word clock is used to group the bits into sample words. A desired word length is determined based on the relationship between the bit clock and the word clock during the transmission or reception of a data word. Based on the desired word length, the sample data is either truncated or padded, and an appropriate amount of dither is added to the sample words to reduce the distortion and quantization artifacts introduced by the word length conversion.

A system for determining a data converter operating mode includes measurement circuitry which measures a master clock frequency, measures a frequency ratio between a frequency of a data clock signal and the master clock frequency, and measures a selected operating condition of the data converter. A mapping system maps the measurements of the master clock frequency, the frequency ratio, and the selected operating condition, to an operating mode of the data converter. In another embodiment, the measurement circuitry adjusts the measurement of the master clock frequency in response to a measurement of the operating conditions of the data converter. In a further embodiment, user input information varies the measurement of the master clock frequency.
