摘要:
A signal converting system is described that has a multi-segment digital to analog converter coupled to one or more error shaping loops. Each error shaping loop includes a quantizer with a feedback loop configured to generate a control signal responsive to a stream of symbols and to an error signal. Each error shaping loop also includes an inter-symbol-interference (ISI) shaping loop coupled to receive the control signal and to produce an ISI portion of the error signal that is responsive to inter-symbol transition rate.
摘要:
A multiple-channel audio processor (10) and an associated plurality of power stages (22) in an audio system are disclosed. The audio processor (10) includes a plurality of audio amplifier channels (22), each of which includes a pulse-code-modulation (PCM) to pulse-width-modulation (PWM) conversion function (25), which generates PWM signals for application to the plurality of power stages (22). The audio amplifier channels (20) each also include an interchannel delay function (28) for delaying the PWM edges relative to other channels (20), for reducing noise. The audio amplifier channels (20) each also include delay adjust circuitry (32) for gradually increasing and decreasing the interchannel delay of the channel (20) on startup and shutdown. This permits a single control terminal (VALID) at the processor to globally enable and disable all of the power stages (22).
