    摘要: An efficient data-directed scrambler is provided for processing digital signals having an unequally-weighted code. The data-directed scrambler includes inputs for receiving unequally-weighted bits of an input signal, outputs for supplying N scrambled bits of an output signal, and two or more scrambler columns connected in series between the inputs and the outputs. One or more of the scrambler columns includes a swapper cell and a digital fanout. Least significant bits in the unequally-weighted code are input to a swapper cell, and higher order bits in the unequally-weighted code are input to respective digital fanouts. In the other embodiments, an efficient data-directed scrambler is provided for processing digital signals having an equally-weighted code.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for processing N equally-weighted digital signals, where N is an arbitrary integer not necessarily an integer power of 2. The methods and apparatus are particularly useful in noise-shaping, mixed-signal converters. The apparatus includes a rotator for rotating the N equally-weighted digital signals in a sequence of rotator states in respective clock cycles to provide N rotated digital signals, and a data-directed scrambler having N inputs and N outputs for data-directed scrambling of the rotated digital signals to distribute the N equally-weighted digital signals to each of the N outputs of the scrambler such that the usage of the N outputs is dynamically balanced over a relatively small number of clock cycles, leading to a shaped noise spectrum.

    摘要: A hybrid tuning circuit is used consisting of a digital finite state machine and an analog tuning circuit to effectively keep the RC product of the continuous time integrator constant across process, temperature, supply, and sampling rate variations. Since the implementation is continuous, the tracking is more accurate than traditional techniques. Using a carefully chosen clocking scheme, the technique gets rid of inter-symbol interference in the feedback DAC. The technique does not use a reference frequency, thereby eliminating the need for a user to identify a reference frequency.

    摘要: An asynchronous digital sample rate converter includes a random access memory for storing input data values and a read only memory for storing a reduced set of interpolation filter coefficients. Input data is written to the random access memory at the input sample rate. Output samples are provided from a multiply/accumulate engine which given a stream of input data and filter coefficients produces an output sample upon request at the output frequency. The initial address for reading input data from the random access memory, and the addresses for coefficients from the read only memory are provided by an auto-centering scheme which is a first order closed loop system with a digital integrator fed by an approximation of the input to output sample rate ratio. This auto-centering scheme may include a feed forward low pass filter to cancel steady state error, and an interpolated write address to reduce noise. A circuit determining the output to input sample rate ratios can also be provided to scale coefficient addresses and resulting output samples to allow for decimation. This circuit includes a form of digital hysteresis to eliminate noise. The ROM coefficients are reduced by relying on the symmetry of the impulse response of the interpolation filter and by utilizing a variable step size forward and backward linear interpolation.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for sample rate conversion in a system including two or more sample rate converters. The method includes the steps of providing an input clock and an output clock to each of the sample rate converters, measuring a sample rate ratio of the clocks in one of the sample rate converters, designated as a master, and controlling each of the sample rate converters with the sample rate ratio measured by the master. The measured sample rate ratio may be transmitted from the master to each of the other sample rate converters. This approach matches the group delays among the sample rate converters.

    摘要: A segmentation circuit includes a digital noise shaper responsive to a stream of digital input words for producing a stream of first digital subwords, and a subtractor for subtracting each of the first digital subwords from a corresponding one of the digital input words to produce a stream of second digital subwords that are noise-shaped. The first and second digital subwords have smaller word lengths than the digital input words. The sum of each of the first and second subwords is equal to the corresponding digital input word. When the digital input words are noise-shaped, the first and second digital subwords are both noise-shaped. The segmentation circuit may be used in a noise-shaping digital-to-analog converter having a multi-bit loop quantizer.
