Abstract:
A D/A converter including a plurality of potential generating sections. They each receive a 1-bit signal from one of an input terminal and delay circuit, and a clock signal or inverted clock signal from an input section or inverter for inverting the clock signal. When the clock signal or inverted clock signal is at a first signal level, they generate a first reference potential or second reference potential in response to the signal level of the 1-bit signal. When the clock signal or inverted clock signal is at the second level, they generate an intermediate potential between the first and second reference potentials. The potentials generated by the plurality of potential generating sections are combined by a combining section. The D/A converter can improve resistance to jitter, and to simplify the configuration of a post-stage filter circuit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and system for implementing a digitally controlled sample and timing clock in a system performing analog and digital signal processing. According to the method, as the timing clock of the digital signal processing is used a clock with a controllable frequency such that said digital signal processing can have a factions suited for controlling the frequency of said timing clock, and the conversion of the signal is performed in synchronism with the timing clock of the digital signal processing operation when a delta-sigma converter or a switched-capacitor filter device is employed. According to the invention, the timing and sample clocks are generated by dividing a fixed-frequency clock operating at a frequency substantially higher than that of said timing/sample clock by a digital divider of an integer division factor whose division factor is controlled by means of an at least second-order delta-sigma modulator capable of delivering an output signal of two values so that one of the modulator output signal values selects the division factor to be N while the other value selects the division factor to be Nnull1, and, further, the delta-sigma modulator controlling the integer-factor divider is adapted to be clocked by the timing signal generated by said integer-factor divider.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for analog-to-digital conversion using sigma-delta modulation of the temporal spacing between digital samples are provided. The method and apparatus include sigma-delta modulation of the time-base such that errors produced by non-uniform sampling are frequency-shaped to a high frequency region where they are reduced by conventional digital filtering techniques. In one embodiment, a sigma-delta ADC receives an analog input signal and converts the analog input signal to digital samples at an oversampling rate. A decimator, coupled to the sigma-delta ADC, receives the digital samples and decimates the digital samples to produce the digital samples at a preselected output sample rate, less than the oversampling rate. An ADC sample rate control circuit, coupled to the ADC, receives a frequency select signal representing the preselected output sample rate, and produces a noise-shaped clock signal for controlling operation of the ADC at the oversampling rate. The control circuit includes a sigma-delta modulator for sigma-delta modulating the frequency select signal. A randomizer/suppressor circuit, under control of the output of the sigma-delta modulator, receives an input clock signal and adjusts the frequency of the clock signal to produce a noise-shaped clock signal for controlling the oversampling rate of the ADC.
