    摘要: A multiple stage delta sigma converter includes a first delta sigma modulator providing a first modulator output signal, a second delta sigma modulator providing a second output signal, and a pulse wave modulator for generating formatted output wherein the level (width) of the formatted output is dependent upon the first modulator output and the timing (delay) of the formatted output is dependent upon the second modulator output. The second modulator output is also based upon the first modulator feedback signal. The second modulator quantizer output and feedback signal are constrained by an output of the first converter. A 1 bit digital to analog converter connected to the output of the PWM converts the formatted output signal to an analog signal.

    摘要: In a delta sigma modulator, generally comprising one or more integrators fed into a multilevel quantizer, the output of which is the output of the delta sigma modulator and is also fed through a digital to analog converter in a feedback loop to the integrators, the quantizer is made sparse, i.e. the levels output by the quantizer are not evenly spaced, but rather are closely spaced for small deviations from 0 V, and broadly spaced for large deviations from 0V. The A/D converter in the feedback is matched to the quantizer. For example, the levels might be -1 V, -1/8 V, 0V, 1/8 V, and 1 V. The digital output signal from the sparse quantizer is fed into a correction RAM, which corrects for nonlinearities in the D/A converter before the digital signal is filtered by a low pass filter and frequency down converted. The contents of the RAM are selected whenever the A/D conversion system is powered on. The contents of the RAM are selected by closing a series of sets switches in the A/D converter and adjusting the output of the RAM to 0.

    摘要: A method of separating a chroma data component from a video data stream includes determining a phase relationship between a color burst in digital video data samples of a composite video signal and a local clock signal which processes the digital video data samples. In response to determining the phase relationship, interpolation filtering is performed on the digital video data samples corresponding to first and second display lines to generate phase aligned video data samples. Adaptive filtering is then performed utilizing the phase aligned video data samples corresponding to the first and second display lines to separate the chroma component from the digital video data samples corresponding to the first display line.

    摘要: A method of generating a pulse width modulated data stream includes providing a first clock signal having a first frequency and selecting a divisor from a set of divisors for dividing the first frequency to select a pattern rate of a pulse width modulated data stream and thereby shift in frequency noise generated at the pattern rate during pulse width modulation. The first frequency of the first signal is divided to generate a second signal at the selected pattern rate. Noise shaping and requantizing is performed on the second signal to generate a noise shaped and requantized second signal and the pulse width modulated data stream having patterns at the selected pattern rate is generated in response to the first signal and the noise shaped and requantized second signal.
