    摘要: Phase compensation in a dual-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is accomplished by holding conversion results in programmable length registers for controllable time periods. A dual-channel ADC includes first and second delta-sigma modulators and a digital filter, subject to multiple sampling rates for optimizing coarse and fine adjustments of delay. An energy calculation is performed in a sampled data domain, which is implemented using digital multiplication techniques in a delay compensation scheme performed in the digital domain. The digital data subject to filter processing, is delayed by predetermined amounts. The dual-channel ADC is provided with a programmable channel delay mechanism. A differential delay equal to &Dgr;I-&Dgr;V is calibrated and compensated subject to an acceptable time delay for production of a correct energy value. The ADC according to the present invention further oversamples received analog signal at clock rates much higher than the output rate of the ADC, and delays are generated in the downstream filters connected to the ADC's.

    摘要: Delay correction in a dual-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is accomplished by insertion of coarse and fine delay correction registers prior to and after a frequency reduction element in a voltage channel. A dual-channel ADC includes first and second delta-sigma modulators and a digital filter, subject to multiple sampling rates for optimizing coarse and fine adjustments of delay. An energy calculation is performed in a sampled data domain, which is implemented using digital multiplication techniques in a delay compensation scheme performed in the digital domain. The digital data subject to filter processing is delayed by predetermined amounts. The dual-channel ADC is provided with a programmable channel delay adjustment in the voltage channel thereof. A delay differential equal to &Dgr;I−&Dgr;V is calibrated and compensated subject to an acceptable time delay for production of a correct energy value. The ADC according to the present invention further oversamples received analog signal at clock rates much higher than the output rate of the ADC, and delays are generated in the downstream filters connected to the ADCs.

    摘要: An energy-to-pulse (E2P) converter for converting analog voltage and current measurements into digital power consumption readout that has an improved output frequency range and can eliminate the potential information loss in a multiple-wires and multiple-phases power distribution system without added complex hardware. The E2P uses a threshold value T in determining the output pulse count which represents the energy/power consumption. The energy consumption E is updated every cycle of a first clock rate F1 during which a power P calculation is performed following a voltage V and a current I analog-to digital conversion. The updated energy consumption E is then divided by the threshold value T to determine the number of pulses that correspond to the power consumption. The number of pulses are output at a second clock rate F2. In so doing, more than one pulse can be generated for each P calculation thereby improving the output frequency range. To prevent complete signal overlaps that may lead to information loss in multiple-wires and multiple-phases power system, the pulse output for each wire can be programmed to have a different phase such that the pulses from the pulse outputs, which are all synchronous with each other, are non-overlapped.

    摘要: A slice and offset circuit is provided that uses a digital integrator in the feedback loop of the offset cancellation circuitry. A slice circuit receives an indication of a desired slice voltage and supplies a signal to specify the slice level, which is combined with a sensed offset level of the amplifier. The feedback loop includes a low pass filter that receives the combined signal indicative of the offset and the slice level. The low pass filter includes the digital integrator circuit that includes an up/down counter that counts in a direction determined according to a digital signal having a ones-density indicative of a value of the combined signal with respect to a reference signal, thereby generating a feedback signal that cancels offset and adjusts for slice.

Each of the first and second signals is passed through one of a high pass filter, an all-pass filter and a module that performs substantially no signal filtering, where the phase and magnitude for either high pass filter are substantially equal to the phase and magnitude for either all-pass filter. At the minimum, the system provides the following filtering combinations for the respective first signal and second signal: (no filter, no filter), (high pass, high pass), (high pass, all-pass) and (all-pass, high-pass). Suitable first order high pass and corresponding all-pass filters are determined.

    摘要: A frequency detector and frequency-locked loop suitable for use in a clock recovery circuit are disclosed. The detector is linear, and can be used in implementing a loss of lock indicator. Variable delay filtering permits the frequency detector to be less sensitive to data fluctuations, and random or pseudo random addition of jitter helps address low gain in the data stream. A VCO controller cycles through a number of control states and provides varying levels of gain, dither and delay during each of the control states.
