    Abstract: Techniques for adaptively generating bias current for a switched-capacitor circuit are described. The switched-capacitor circuit charges and discharges at least one switching capacitor at a sampling rate and may be a ΣΔ ADC that digitizes an analog signal at the sampling rate and provides digital samples. The switched-capacitor circuit may support multiple modes associated with different sampling rates. A bias circuit generates a bias current for the switched-capacitor circuit to be proportional to the sampling rate for a selected mode, to provide a bandwidth proportional to the sampling rate for an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) within the switched-capacitor circuit, and to track changes in the switching capacitor(s) due to variations in integrated circuit (IC) process and temperature. The settling time of the switched-capacitor circuit may track with the multiple modes and across IC process and temperature variations.

    Abstract: A radio-frequency ΣΔ-modulator comprises a first mixer in the forward path for down-converting the signals in this forward path with a local oscillator frequency and a second mixer in the feedback path for up-converting the feedback signal with the same local oscillator frequency. Delays between the two mixing operations cause a loss of gain in the loop of the ΣΔ-modulator. An adjustable amplifier in the feedback path compensates for this loss of gain.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit having multiple switched-capacitor delta-sigma data converter circuits includes compensation for voltage reference error due to leakage current that causes reference voltage droop. The reference filter capacitor terminal voltage is maintained by periodic connection to the reference feedback capacitor(s) that are alternately connected to a voltage reference buffer, and the leakage into the reference feedback capacitor networks of disabled converter circuits causes reference voltage droop. The compensation is either determined from the number of converter circuits that are disabled, or from an error between the filter capacitor voltage and a separate voltage reference, and may be applied by adjusting a resistance selectively coupled between the voltage reference buffer output and the filter capacitor, feedback applied to the voltage reference buffer or its input source. Alternatively, or in combination, correction may be applied to the output of the active converters by digital adjustment of output values.

    Abstract: In higher order sigma-delta modulators (SDMs), there are oftentimes errors introduced by the digital-to-analog (DAC) switches. Namely, parasitic capacitances associated with switches can introduce second harmonic spurs. Here, however, compensation circuits and buffers are provided. The buffers bias the switches in saturation, and the compensation circuits provide a “ground boost” for the buffers. The combination of the buffer and compensation circuit reduces the second harmonic spur, while also improving the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Signal-to-Noise-plus-Distortion Ratio (SNDR).
