    摘要: A ring oscillator based voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is disclosed. The VCO includes a set of delay cells connected to each other in a ring configuration. Each of the delay cells includes a source-coupled input transistor pair, a current-steering transistor pair and a pair of load resistors. The source-coupled input transistor pair receives a pair of differential voltage inputs. The load resistors, which are connected to the source-coupled input transistor pair, provide a pair of differential voltage outputs. The current-steering transistor pair, which is connected to the source-coupled input transistor pair, receives a pair of differential bias voltage inputs. The output frequency of the VCO is directly proportional to the differential bias voltages at the pair of differential bias voltage inputs.

    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide highly accurate DCPs. One example provides a DCP that includes a resistor string having taps that may be selected by a corresponding number of switches under the control of a digital word. To compensate for parasitic switch resistances and for variations in the values of the resistor sting caused by processing tolerances, a voltage-controlled resistor (VCR) is placed in parallel with the resistor string and switches. A control voltage generated using a control loop adjusts the parallel VCR such that the resistance seen across the DCP is the desired value. The control loop compares a reference resistor to loop components that are scaled to the resistor string, switches, and VCR. The reference resistor may be an external resistor or an internal resistor. If the resistor is internal, it may be trimmed, for example with lasers or fuses.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog converter (“DAC”) system utilizes chopping modulation technology to remove 1/f and other baseband noise from a baseband of a signal of interest. Chopping modulation and demodulation circuitry of the DAC operate at a chopping frequency equal to approximately one-half of a digital input signal sampling frequency. Chopping at one-half the sampling frequency allows fold back into the baseband of the input signal's frequency components and reduces fold back of noise, such as quantization noise, residing outside the baseband. In a further embodiment, a notch filter attenuates signals having frequencies around the chopping frequency prior to chopping to reduce fold back of noise into the baseband due to parasitic modulation. Coordination of chopping timing also reduces noises in the output of the DAC system.

    摘要: A method and system for compressing coefficients of a digital filter is provided. In one approach, the method comprises providing a digital filter having a plurality of consecutive filter coefficients including a first filter coefficient, determining consecutive difference values between each of the consecutive filter coefficients, and storing the first filter coefficient and the consecutive difference values in a memory. The consecutive filter coefficients are generated by retrieving the first filter coefficient, and adding a first difference value to the first filter coefficient to generate a consecutive second filter coefficient. The first difference value corresponds to a difference between the first filter coefficient and the second filter coefficient. A consecutive next difference value is then added to the second filter coefficient to generate a consecutive next filter coefficient. The consecutive next difference value corresponds to a difference between the second filter coefficient and the consecutive next filter coefficient.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing multiple channel audio in a computing system includes processing that begins by receiving an audio setup signal that indicates whether audio is to be outputted as stereo audio or multiple channel audio. When multiple channel audio is to be outputted, the line-in driver is disabled in the audio processing circuitry and the multiple channel driver of the audio processing circuitry is enabled. Thus, the multiple channel driver is operably coupled to the line-in audio jack. When the audio output is to be outputted as stereo audio, the multiple channel driver is disabled and the line-in driver is enable. Thus, the line-in driver is operably coupled to the line-in audio jack.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog converter (“DAC”) system utilizes notch filters and chopping modulation technology to remove l/f and other baseband noise from a baseband of a signal of interest. Chopping modulation and demodulation circuitry of the DAC operate at a chopping frequency and all harmonics equal to approximately one-half of a digital input signal sampling frequency. A notch filter attenuates signals having frequencies around the chopping frequency prior to chopping to reduce fold back of noise into the baseband due to parasitic modulation. Another notch filter attenuating signals having frequencies around twice the chopping frequency further reduces fold back of noise into the baseband.
