Abstract:
A low pass filter includes a first amplifier stage and a second amplifier stage. The first amplifier stage includes a differential operational amplifier, wherein the first amplifier stage is arranged to process a differential input signal to generate a differential intermediate signal, the differential input signal having a first input signal and a second input signal, and the differential intermediate signal having a first intermediate signal and a second intermediate signal. The second amplifier stage has no common-mode feedback and is arranged to process the differential intermediate signal to generate a differential output signal, wherein the differential output signal has a first output signal corresponding to the first input signal and a second output signal corresponding to the second input signal. Since the noisy common-mode feedback is removed from the second amplifier stage, the overall common-mode noise of the low pass filter can be decreased.
Abstract:
A transmitter includes a first wireless communication module, a second wireless communication module, a multiplexer, a digital-to-analog converter and a filter. The multiplexer selectively outputs a first digital signal derived from a digital output of the first wireless communication module or a second digital signal derived from a digital output of the second wireless communication module as a selected output. The digital-to-analog converter converts the selected output into an analog signal. The filter processes the analog signal and includes an adjustable resistive element. When the multiplexer selects the first digital signal as the selected output, the adjustable resistive element is adjusted to have a first resistance value such that the filter has a first bandwidth. When the multiplexer selects the second digital signal as the selected output, the adjustable resistive element is adjusted to have a second resistance value such that the filter has a second bandwidth.
Abstract:
A time-interleaved noise-shaping successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (TI NS-SAR ADC) is shown. A first successive-approximation channel has a first set of successive-approximation registers, and a first coarse comparator operative to coarsely adjust the first set of successive-approximation registers. A second successive-approximation channel has a second set of successive-approximation registers, and a second coarse comparator operative to coarsely adjust the second set of successive-approximation registers. A fine comparator is provided to finely adjust the first set of successive-approximation registers and the second set of successive-approximation registers alternately. A noise-shaping circuit is provided to sample residues of the first and second successive-approximation channels for the fine comparator to finely adjust the first and second sets of successive-approximation registers.
