摘要： Apparatus are provided for converting a discrete-time analog signal to a continuous-time analog signal. A module comprises a digital-to-analog converter and a filtering arrangement coupled between the digital-to-analog converter and an output node. The digital-to-analog converter converts a digital signal to a discrete-time analog signal. The filtering arrangement comprises a forward signal arrangement having an input configured to receive the discrete-time analog signal and a feedback signal arrangement coupled to the forward signal arrangement. The feedback signal arrangement generates a discrete-time feedback signal at the input of the forward signal arrangement based on one or more continuous-time analog signals from the forward signal arrangement. The forward signal arrangement generates the continuous-time analog output signal at the output node based on a difference between the discrete-time analog signal and the discrete-time feedback signal.

摘要： Apparatus are provided for continuous-time sigma-delta modulators. A sigma-delta modulator comprises a quantizer configured to convert an analog signal to a digital value. A main feedback arrangement is coupled to the quantizer, and the main feedback arrangement delays the digital value by a first delay period and generates a main feedback signal based on the delayed value. A compensation feedback arrangement is coupled to the quantizer, and compensation feedback arrangement delays the digital value by a second delay period and generates a compensation feedback signal based on the delayed value. A forward signal arrangement produces the analog signal at the quantizer based on an input signal, the main feedback signal, and the compensation feedback signal. The second delay period is independent of and is not influenced by the first delay period, and the second delay period is chosen such that the compensation feedback signal compensates for the first delay period.
