摘要： A notch filter in a sigma-delta modulator loop filter increases SNR by limiting in-band quantization noise around a frequency to which the notch filter is precisely tuned. A tuning mode controller isolates the notch filter from other loop filter stages. A bias voltage is applied to the notch filter, causing it to resonate. Tuning mode switches insert the notch filter into a frequency-locked loop (“FLL”) circuit as a variable frequency oscillator component of the FLL. An ADC operational mode input signal is applied to the FLL as a reference signal. A tuning control component of the FLL adjusts a tunable feedback element in the notch filter to drive the FLL error signal to zero in order to precisely tune the notch filter to the center frequency of the ADC input signal. Tuning inputs to the tunable feedback element are then latched prior to re-inserting the notch filter into the modulator.

摘要： A direct current (“DC”) calibration reference voltage is applied at an input terminal of an N-level sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (“ADC”). The ADC includes a current-mode DAC (“I-DAC”) operating as a feedback element. A count of logical 1s associated with each of N output levels is taken at outputs of a modulator portion of the ADC during a first mismatch measurement interval. Mismatch measurement logic subsequently transposes pairs of current sources between level selection switch matrices. Doing so causes modulator output error components resulting from mismatches between I-DAC current sources (“delta”) to appear as differential level-specific output counts. The mismatch measurement logic compares the differential counts to determine values of delta. The ADC then factors decimated modulator output counts by values of delta in order to correct for the I-DAC current source mismatch(es).

摘要： A temperature sensor uses a semiconductor device that has a known voltage drop characteristic that is proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT). A controllable current source is coupled to the semiconductor device and is operable to sequentially inject a bias current having a value I(bias) and fixed ratio N of I(bias) into the semiconductor device. A delta sigma analog to digital converter (ADC) has an input coupled to the semiconductor device. The delta sigma ADC is configured to sample and integrate a sequence of voltages pairs produced across the semiconductor device by repeatedly injecting an ordered sequence of selected bias currents into the semiconductor device. The ordered sequence of selected bias currents comprises M repetitions of (N×I(bias); I(bias)) and one repetition of (M×I(bias); M×N×I(bias)).
