摘要： A digital conversion system including a sigma-delta converter, a signal generator providing a substantially symmetrical injection signal that is injected into the sigma-delta converter conversion path, bandpass filters for filtering the injection signal and the output of the sigma-delta converter, a correlator that correlates the filtered signals for providing an error signal, and a loop controller that uses the error signal to adjust a resonant frequency of the sigma-delta converter to output a target notch frequency. The loop controller may adjust a resonant frequency of a loop filter of the sigma-delta converter, in which the bandpass filters may each be centered at the target notch frequency at the output of the sigma-delta converter. The correlator may include a complex conjugate block, a multiplier and a mean calculator. The loop controller may include a converter and an amplifier and an integrator or a least-mean square block.

摘要： A delta-sigma modulator including force circuitry that receives an output digital signal and provides a forced digital signal with a predetermined force state based on a force control signal, a combiner that subtracts the forced digital signal from the output digital signal for providing a digital error signal, and force correction circuitry that converts the digital error signal into one or more analog error correction signals applied to corresponding inputs of loop filter circuitry. The digital error signal and the force control signal may each be used to develop corresponding analog feedback signals used to adjust an analog input signal. The digital error signal may also be converted to one or more correction signals applied to corresponding inputs of the loop filter circuitry to correct the output digital signal. The digital error signal may also be used by a digital noise cancellation filter to further correct the output digital signal.

摘要： The present disclosure relates generally to techniques for continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The continuous-time sigma-delta ADC may include a feed-forward capacitor in parallel with a current-steering excess loop delay (ELD) digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and by creating a zero in a transfer function of a Gm cell, both an ELD feedback loop settling and a main feedback loop may be recovered. As a result, the performance and stability of the continuous-time sigma-delta ADC can be achieved. Additionally, a summation node in the continuous-time sigma-delta ADC may offer flexibility in the architecture design of the continuous-time sigma-delta ADC.
