A Delta-Sigma modulator architecture is disclosed that uses interleaving and dynamic matching algorithms to address the needs of multi-mode, multi-band high bandwidth transmitters. The proposed architecture also supports a novel software defined transmitter architecture based on an interleaved Delta-Sigma modulator to generate RF signals. The proposed architecture leverages interleaving concepts to relax subcomponent clock rates without changing the effective oversampling ratio, thus, making it easier to reach aggressive dynamic range goals across wider bandwidths at higher frequencies. The DEM algorithm helps to randomize mismatch errors across all interleaved paths and improves substantially the signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, a tunable bandpass filter can be added to reject out-of-band emissions.

An audio amplifier system includes a delta-sigma modulator configured to receive an m-bit digital audio input signal and to generate a pulse density modulated signal based on the m-bit digital audio input signal. An analog power stage is coupled to the delta-sigma modulator to receive the pulse density modulated signal and amplify the pulse density modulated signal to generate an amplified pulse density modulated signal. A feedback circuit is coupled to the delta-sigma modulator and the analog power stage. The feedback circuit is configured to receive the amplified pulse density modulated signal and the pulse density modulated signal and to determine a digital error signal representative of a difference between the amplified pulse density modulated signal and the pulse density modulated signal. The feedback circuit is further configured to provide the digital error signal to the delta-sigma modulator for applying the digital error signal to a representation of the m-bit digital audio input signal.

In one embodiment, a method for converting an input digital signal into an analog signal is provided. The method comprises modulating the input digital signal into a modulated digital signal, and converting the modulated digital signal into the analog signal using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The modulation shapes quantization noise of the DAC to place a notch at a frequency within an out-of-bound frequency band to reduce the quantization noise within the out-of-bound frequency band.

An exemplary apparatus for converting fluctuations in periodicity of an input signal into proportional fluctuations in the amplitude of an output signal includes: an input line for accepting an input signal; a delay element with an input coupled to the input line and an output; a detector having a first input coupled to the input line, a second input coupled to the output of the delay element, and an output; an integrator having an input coupled to the output of the detector and an output; and an output line coupled to the output of the integrator. The delay element introduces a time delay which is greater than zero and less than twice the nominal oscillation period of the input signal. The detector performs a differencing operation. The integrator has a time constant of integration that is smaller than twice the delay applied by the delay element.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for converting a digital input signal to an analog output signal are disclosed. A first delta-sigma modulator receives a common mode reference signal and generates a common mode control signal. A data delta-sigma modulator receives a digital input signal and generates a modulated digital input signal. A shuffler receives the modulated digital input signal and the common mode control signal and generates a shuffled digital input signal. A digital to analog converter (DAC) has a plurality of tri-level unit DAC elements each receiving a corresponding portion of the shuffled digital input signal as a first input signal, and receiving second and third input signals. The tri-level unit DAC elements have first outputs coupled together generating a first output signal and second outputs coupled together generating a second output signal. An operational amplifier receives the first and second output signals and generates the analog output signal.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for digital-to-analog conversion. A digital-to-analog converter includes a sampler for resampling a digital signal and a DAC array. The DAC array includes a sequencer, a unit element activator, and an array of one-bit DACs (unit elements). The unit elements are activated in a cyclical sequence, based on the resampled digital signal. Unit elements in the sequence may be skipped, based on a disruption probability. The disruption probability may be determined randomly, or pseudo-randomly. Output signals of the unit elements are summed or averaged to form an analog signal. The converter may include a filter to filter the analog signal.
