    摘要: A method and system for selecting implementation of a filter controller between a single conversion that ensures a fully-settled converted output and a continuous conversion of an input signal are disclosed. State machine determines whether convert start signal has a duration, which ends on or before a first occurrence of a conversion done on the input signal. Conversion done is an occurrence of when a bit set has been converted from the input signal. If convert start signal has a duration which ends on or before the first occurrence of conversion done, then state machine selects and implements single conversion of the input signal. Digital system ensures a fully-settled converted output by waiting for the filter to receive and filter a predetermined number of bit sets for a conversion output and then outputting the conversion output. Otherwise, state machine selects and implements continuous conversion of the input signal.

    摘要: A method of determining an internal operating mode of an electronic circuit derives multiple comparison rates from a rate of a master clock input, computes one or more clock ratios of the comparison rates to a rate of a sample rate clock input, and determines whether any of the clock ratios is a valid ratio representing a supported clock configuration. The appropriate internal operating mode is then selected based on the valid ratio. In the illustrative embodiment, a clock autodetect unit uses two trip frequencies to derive at least first and second clock comparison rates. The audio converter can operate in three distinct modes (base, high and quad modes). The base mode is selected when the clock ratio is about 256, the high mode is selected when the clock ratio is about 128, and the quad mode is selected when the clock ratio is about 64. A multiplexer can be used to sequence through the computer clock ratios to ensure that a highest valid ratio is used among a plurality of valid ratios.

    摘要: An approach to time domain filtering uses a passive charge sharing approach to implement an infinite impulse response filter. Delayed samples of an input signal are stored as charges on capacitors of a first array of capacitors, and delayed samples of the output signal are stored as charges on capacitors of a second array of capacitors. Outputs are determined by passively coupling capacitors of the first and second arrays to one another, and determining the output according to a total charge on the coupled capacitors. In some examples, a gain is applied to the total charge prior to storing the output on the second array of capacitors. In some examples, a charge scaling circuit is applied to the charges stored on the arrays prior to coupling capacitors to form the output.

    摘要: A temperature and process-stable magnetic field sensor bias current source provides improved performance in Hall effect sensor circuits. A switched-capacitor sensing element is used to sense either a reference current or the bias current directly. A current mirror may be used to generate the bias current from the reference current, and may include multiple current source transistors coupled through corresponding control transistors that are switched using a barrel shifter to reduce variations in the bias current due to process variation. The current mirror control may be provided via a chopper amplifier to reduce flicker noise and the current mirror control voltage may be held using a track/hold circuit during transitions of the chopper amplifier to further reduce noise due to the chopping action.
