    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting clipping conditions in an audio signal and processing the signal to reduce the clipping conditions. In one embodiment, a system comprises a noise shaper, a modulator, an output stage and other components. A detector detects clipping in the noise shaper and a signal processor processes the audio signal input to the noise shaper based on feedback received from the detector. The signal processor may function to modify the input audio signal in different ways in response to different conditions that are detected by the detector. A filter may be included to filter the output of the detector before being provided to the signal processor. A flag circuit may be coupled between the filter and the signal processor to assert an output signal until the signal processor resets the flag circuit.

    摘要: This invention relates to adjusting a filter of a time-continuous Sigma-Delta converter arranged to convert an analog input signal (Sin) to a digital output signal. A control signal indicative of a gain of the filter is provided, and the gain of the filter is adjusted in dependence of the control signal. The control signal is provided from the digital output signal of the Sigma-Delta converter. In this way the performance of the Sigma-Delta converter can be improved in a simple way that requires no or few additional analog components, and the Sigma-Delta converter itself is used to adjust its performance. Using a signal from the digital domain of the Sigma-Delta converter is advantageous in that it is typically easier, faster and more precise to process signals in the digital domain.

    摘要: Gain scaling of multistage, multi-bit delta sigma modulators for higher signal-to-noise ratios. In a multistage delta sigma modulator having a modulator stage with an integrator, a multi-bit quantizer, and a multi-bit digital-to-analog converter, the multi-bit quantizer is companded to cause a feedback signal, produced by the multi-bit digital-to-analog converter, to have a first gain, with respect to an integrated signal received by the multi-bit quantizer, set greater than one. A second gain, of the integrator, is reduced so that an overall gain of the modulator stage remains equal to one. A third gain, of a stability correction gain element connected to an input of the modulator stage, is increased so that a swing of the integrated signal remains within a dynamic range of an operational amplifier used to implement the integrator, and the multistage delta sigma modulator can realize the higher signal-to-noise ratio.

    摘要: An n-bit quantizer of a downstream modulator stage is configured to produce an n-bit quantized signal from an analog signal having a range. The n-bit quantizer divides the range into 2n subranges. A first subrange of the 2n subranges is bounded by a lowest value of the range, a second subrange of the 2n subranges is bounded by a highest value of the range, and at least one remaining subrange of the 2n subranges is positioned between the first and the second subranges. The first and the second subranges each measure greater than null1/null2(2nnull1)nullnull of the total range. Each of the at least one remaining subrange measures less than null1/(2nnull1)null of the total range. A first gain of an integrator of the downstream modulator stage is set so that the downstream modulator stage is stable. A second gain of a stability correction gain element of a coupling stage connected to the downstream modulator is set so that a swing of the analog signal remains within a dynamic range of the downstream modulator stage.

    摘要: Example embodiments are directed to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that controls a gain by changing a system parameter, an image sensor including the ADC and a method of operating the ADC. The ADC includes a sigma-delta modulator which receives an input signal and a clock signal and sigma-delta modulates the input signal into a digital output signal based on the clock signal and an accumulation unit which accumulates the digital output signal at each cycle of the clock signal according to an analog-to-digital conversion time and outputs an accumulation result. A system parameter is varied during the analog-to-digital conversion time to control a gain of the ADC. The method of operating the analog-to-digital converter includes sigma-delta modulating an input signal into a digital output signal in response to a clock signal input to the ADC; and accumulating the digital output signal at each cycle of the input clock signal according to an analog-to-digital conversion time and outputting an accumulation result.
