摘要： A system for determining a data converter operating mode includes measurement circuitry for measuring master clock frequency of a master clock signal and a frequency ratio between a frequency of a data clock signal and the master clock frequency and a mapping system for mapping the measurement of the frequency ratio to an operating mode of the data converter. The mapping system generates a set of candidate divide ratios for dividing the master clock frequency to generate corresponding internal master clock frequencies of an internal clock signal and determines the lowest divide ratio which generates a supported internal master clock frequency. In an alternate embodiment, the mapping system determines the divide ratio required by a filter of the data converter by dividing the data clock to master clock frequency ratio by a data clock to internal clock frequency ratio between the data clock frequency and the frequency of an internal clock signal. In additional embodiments, the mapping system gives preference to natural number divide ratios during mode mapping.

摘要： A method of operating a delta-sigma modulator by providing a variable-level quantizer, which selectively enables an additional quantizer level(s) during a ramp up sequence of the modulator. The additional quantizer level(s) is/are disabled during normal operation. The quantizer truncates a summer output and selectively enables the additional quantizer levels by clipping the truncated sum within a first range of quantizer levels during the ramp up sequence and within a second range of quantizer levels during normal operation in which there are more quantizer levels in the first range than in the second range. The quantizer preferably enables at least two additional quantizer levels at a low end of the quantizer range. For example, the range of quantizer levels for normal operation of the modulator can be from −6 to +6, while the range of quantizer levels for ramp up operation of the modulator can be from −8 to +7.
