    摘要: Traditionally, pipelined continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta modulators (SDM) have been difficult to build due at least in part to the difficulties in calibrating the pipeline. Here, however, a pipelined CT SDM is provided that has an architecture that is conducing to being calibrated. Namely, the system includes a digital filter and other features that can be adjusted to account for input imbalance errors and well as quantization leakage noise.

    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided. The ADC includes a plurality of pipelined ADCs and an adjustment circuit. Each pipelined ADC is adapted to receive an analog input signal, has an adjustable transfer function, and includes a compensator. The adjustment circuit is coupled to each pipelined ADC to be able to adjust the transfer function for each pipelined ADC so as to generally eliminate an estimation ambiguity. Additionally, the adjustment circuit estimates an inter-stage error that includes at least one of an inter-stage gain error and a DAC gain error and adjusts the compensator for each pipelined ADC to compensate for the inter-stage error.

    摘要: A method and corresponding apparatus are provided. In operation, an analog signal is integrated with an integrator to generate an integrated analog signal. The integrated analog signal is compared, in synchronization with a first clock signal and a second clock signal, to a reference voltage with a plurality of comparators to generate a comparator output signal. A feedback current is then generated, in synchronization with the second clock signal, from the comparator output signal. The feedback current is fed back to at least one of the comparators, and the comparator output signal is latched in synchronization with the first clock signal to generate a latched output signal. This latched output signal is converted to a feedback analog signal, and a difference between the analog signal and the feedback analog signal is determined.
