摘要： A continuous-time sigma-delta analog to digital converter (CTSD ADC) includes a comparator that samples the time integral of an analog signal at each rising edge and falling edge of a sampling clock. A feedback block, operating as a digital to analog converter, receives the outputs of the comparator and generates corresponding analog signals also at each rising and falling edge of the sampling clock. The feedback blocks are implemented as either switched-resistor or switched-current circuits. High signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is achieved in the CTSD ADC without the need to use very high sampling clock frequencies. Compensation for excess loop delay is provided using a local feedback technique. In an embodiment, the sigma delta modulator in the CTSD ADC is implemented as a second order loop, and the comparator as a two-level comparator.

摘要： A driver circuit includes a first driver amplifier that is configured to generate a first output in response to a first reference voltage input and a first audio input; a second driver amplifier that is configured to generate a second output in response to the first reference voltage and a second audio input; and a common mode (CM) amplifier, coupled to the first driver amplifier and the second driver amplifier. The CM amplifier is configured to generate an output in response to a second reference voltage input, the first reference voltage input being a divided version of the output. Gains of the first driver amplifier, second driver amplifier and the CM amplifier are equal. Noise at the output appears across a plurality of resistors coupled at the outputs of the first driver amplifier, second driver amplifier and the CM amplifier and cancels with respect to the output of the CM amplifier.

摘要： An ADC implemented according to an aspect of the present invention contains a non-zero bit stage followed by a zero-bit stage. The non-zero bit stage generates a sub-code, which is used in generating a digital code corresponding to an input analog signal, and the zero-bit stage does not provide any such sub-codes. Such a feature may be attained by using a gain amplifier provided according to another aspect of the present invention. The gain amplifier contains a main-amplifier which operates as a zero bit stage, and is also used by the non-zero bit stage. The same capacitance value may be maintained between the input terminal and output terminal of the main-amplifier to implement the zero bit stage, which enables the main-amplifier to be implemented with a low gain.

摘要： Generating a waveform having one signal level periodically and different signal levels in other durations. Two input signals are received, one having a desired constant level and another having desired signal levels. The desired output waveform is generated by selecting one of the two input signals. As a result, the output waveform may be generated to have (transitions) with high frequency even if the signal levels between adjacent portions are substantially different. Such waveforms are useful to test CDS (correlated double sampling) samplers.

摘要： A low noise current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC includes a current reference for generating a bias current that biases a set of current elements. The set of current elements includes a reference element. The current reference includes a reference amplifier and a reference arm. The reference arm includes a reference resistor and the reference element. The DAC further includes a switch periodically coupling each current element including the reference element, to the reference resistor and an output of the DAC. This rotates the set of current elements and attenuates flicker noise from each of the set of current elements.
