    摘要: A data converter is disclosed. The data converter includes a loop-filter, a quantizer, an analog dynamic element matching (DEM) shuffler, a digital DEM shuffler and a feedback digital-to-analog converter. The loop-filter receives analog signals from an analog input. The quantizer then converts the filtered analog signals from the loop-filter to digital signals at a digital output. The analog DEM shuffler shuffles a set of analog threshold levels of the quantizer to yield a set of partially shuffled digital data at an output of the quantizer. The digital DEM shuffler shuffles the set of partially shuffled digital data from the output of the quantizer to yield a set of shuffled digital data. The feedback digital-to-analog converter converts the set of shuffled digital data to a set of analog data to be fed back to the loop-filter.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for spectrally shaping mismatch errors in a multi-bit digital to analog converter (DAC). In an embodiment, the multi-bit DAC is constructed from K separate multi-element sub-DACs, where K and the number of elements in each sub-DAC are each preferably greater than two. A received digital input code is split into a set of K sub-codes corresponding to the digital input code. The set of K sub-codes can have one of at least N different sub-code orders that specify an order of each of the K sub-codes with respect to one another, where N>2. A sum of the K sub-codes equals the digital input code. One of the at least N different sub-code orders is selected using a shuffling algorithm. Then, each sub-code in the set of K sub-codes is output in accordance with the selected sub-code order.

    摘要: A decoder for a current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is described herein. In an embodiment, the decoder is a dynamic element matching (DEM) row/column decoder that randomizes pairs of row control signals and column control signals that are provided to a matrix of current cells. The randomization is performed in a manner that ensures that the pairs of row control signals are randomized as pairs. In another embodiment, the decoder is an N-dimensional decoder, where N is any integer greater than two. The N-dimensional decoder comprises an N number of decoders that are each configured to provide respective control signals that are provided to current source(s) in current cell(s) in a respective dimension of an N-dimensional matrix of current cells for enabling current source(s) included therein. Such decoders advantageously allow for a simpler, more efficient design compared to a non-segmented, unary DAC due to the smaller area and lower power consumed.

    摘要: A system and method dynamically selects digital-to-analog (DAC) circuit elements to provide a True differential-output delta-sigma (ΔΣ) DAC. The sign and magnitude of a received N-bit input code is determined. If the input code comprises a positive value, m+r circuit elements are selected from a plurality of circuit elements by a positive element selector, in which comprises a number of rotational elements, and r circuit elements are selected by a negative element selector. Each selected circuit element comprises a circuit element that was not selected for an immediately preceding received input code and has a corresponding minimum usage count value. If the input digital code comprises a negative value, m+r circuit elements are selected by the negative element selector, and r circuit elements are selected by the positive element selector. The circuit elements are capable of being configured as positive or negative circuit elements.

    摘要: A error-shaping digital-to-analog (D/A) converter system [100], consisting of a separator [102], a set of D/A converters [104] [108], a set of optional analog filters [106] [108], a summation device [112], and an optional analog filter [114]. The separator [102] separates the digital input signal into a set of low-resolution signals of which only one has significant power in the system's signal band. These signals are D/A converted by mismatch-shaping D/A converters [104] [108], in some embodiments filtered by analog filters [106] [108], and then added by the summing device [112]. Imperfections of the employed D/A converters [104] [108] will only cause very small errors in the signal band, such errors being essentially uncorrelated to the digital input signal. The D/A converter system is comparable to a scaled-element D/A converter in which the distortion is transformed into a noise component having very little power in the signal band.
