    • A sigma-delta modulator (10) has an input node coupled to a first input of a loop filter (12); a quantizer (14) that has an input coupled to an output of the loop filter for receiving a differential input signal therefrom and a feedback path (18) coupled from an output of the quantizer to a second input of the loop filter. The quantizer input includes a first input signal transistor (14A) and a second input signal transistor (14B) having gates coupled to the differential input signal, a first set of transistors (M1a, . . . ,Mna) connected in parallel with the first input signal transistor (M0a), and a second set of transistors (M1b, . . . ,Mnb) connected in parallel with the second input signal transistor (M0b). A gate of each transistor of the first set of transistors is switchably coupled by a digital signal to either the input signal or to ground, and a gate of each transistor of the second set of dither transistors is switchably coupled by an inverted version of the digital signal to either the input signal or to ground. The digital signal is generated to have random or pseudo-random characteristics, such as by using a LFSR (20). The result is the creation of an imbalance in the quantizer input transistor structure that results in the generation of a noise signal that functions as a dither signal.
    • Σ-Δ调制器(10)具有耦合到环路滤波器(12)的第一输入端的输入节点; 量化器(14),其具有耦合到环路滤波器的输出的输入,用于从其接收差分输入信号;以及反馈路径(18),其从量化器的输出耦合到环路滤波器的第二输入端。 量化器输入包括具有耦合到差分输入信号的栅极的第一输入信号晶体管(14A)和第二输入信号晶体管(14B),第一组晶体管(M1a,...,Mna)与第一 输入信号晶体管(M0a)和与第二输入信号晶体管(M0b)并联连接的第二组晶体管(M1b,...,Mnb)。 第一组晶体管的每个晶体管的栅极通过数字信号可切换地耦合到输入信号或接地,并且第二组抖动晶体管的每个晶体管的栅极通过数字的反向版本可切换地耦合 信号到输入信号或接地。 产生数字信号以具有随机或伪随机特性,例如通过使用LFSR(20)。 结果是在量化器输入晶体管结构中产生不平衡,导致产生用作抖动信号的噪声信号。

    • An analog-to-digital converter (100) has a first path (110) with a first sigma-delta modulator (114) which transforms an analog input signal X.sub.0 (111') from an input terminal (101) to a digital output signal Y.sub.0 at an output terminal (102). In a second path (120), a digital dither signal D (121') is combined with a digital intermediate signal Z.sub.0 (115') from the first modulator (114) and digitally processed by a second sigma-delta modulator (124) to an intermediate signal Y.sub.1 (125') Y.sub.1 is fed to the first modulator (114) and to the output terminal (102) with opposite sign ("+" and "-", respectively). Thereby, multipliers (133 and 127) attenuate Y.sub.1. The dither signal D (121') is used substantially only within the converter (100), and is substantially canceled before the output terminal (102). This features preserve a high SNR of the converter (100) and low spectral tones in output signal Y.sub.0.
    • 模拟 - 数字转换器(100)具有第一路径(110),其具有将来自输入端(101)的模拟输入信号X0(111')变换成数字输出信号的第一Σ-Δ调制器(114) Y0在输出端子(102)处。 在第二路径(120)中,将数字抖动信号D(121')与来自第一调制器(114)的数字中间信号Z0(115')组合并由第二Σ-Δ调制器(124)进行数字处理, 中间信号Y1(125')Y1以相反的符号(分别为“+”和“ - ”)馈送到第一调制器(114)和输出端子(102)。 由此,乘法器(133和127)衰减Y1。 抖动信号D(121')基本上仅在转换器(100)内使用,并且在输出端(102)之前基本上被消除。 这特征保留了转换器(100)的高SNR和输出信号Y0中的低频谱。
