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.

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:
An electronic system generates at least one floating supply voltage, wherein during operation of the circuit the floating supply voltage tracks a common mode voltage of first and second differential input signals. By tracking the common mode voltage, in at least one embodiment, the floating supply voltage adjusts as the common mode voltage changes. Thus, the floating supply voltages can be based upon the peak-to-peak values of the first and second output signals without factoring in the common mode voltage. In at least one embodiment, the electronic system provides the floating supply voltages to an amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the first and second differential input signals and generates differential output signals. A differential sampling circuit samples the differential output signals to cancel the common mode voltage from the differential output signals. In at least one embodiment, an analog-to-digital converter converts the sampled differential output signals into a digital output signal.
