Abstract: A digital conversion system including a sigma-delta converter, a tone generator that generates injects a tone signal into the conversion path of the sigma-delta converter at a frequency that is outside operating signal frequency range, a tone detector that isolates and detects a level of the injected tone signal and provides a corresponding tone level value, a tone ratio comparator that converts the tone level value into a tone level ratio and that compares the converted tone level ratio with an expected tone level ratio to provide an error signal, and a loop controller that converts the error signal to a correction signal to adjust a loop filter frequency the sigma-delta converter. Tones may be serially injected one at a time or simultaneously in parallel for determining a measured tone level ratio for comparison with a corresponding one of multiple stored expected tone level ratios.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to compensating for errors in in an analog-to-digital converter circuit (ADC). As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus and/or method involves an ADC that converts an analog signal into a digital signal using an output from a digital-to-analog converter circuit (DAC). A compensation circuit generates a compensation output by, for respective signal portions provided to the DAC, generating a feedback signal based on an incompatibility between the conversion of the signal portions into an analog signal and the value of the signal portions provided to the DAC. A compensation output is generated based on the signal input to the DAC with a gain applied thereto, based on the feedback signal.

Abstract: A circuit that receives a series a digital signal values from a digital circuit output where the output has a propensity to produce digital values with a metastable error. The circuit produces an analog output signal having values over time corresponding to the digital signal values. The circuit includes two data paths that receive the digital signal values and produce a delayed analog signal. One data path includes an analog delay and the other data path includes a digital delay and a digital to analog converter. The circuit uses the output of the two data paths to adjust a later output analog signal value that is produced by the analog circuit output subsequent to a former output analog signal value produced by the analog circuit output that corresponds to a digital signal value of the series with a metastable error to compensate for the metastable error in the output signal.
