چکیده

modulation is a proven method to realize high-resolution A/D converters. A particularly efficient way to implement such a modulator uses double-sampling where the sampling frequency is twice the master-clock frequency. Unfortunately path mismatch between both sampling branches causes a part of the quantisation noise to fold from the Nyquist frequency back in the signal band. This degrades the performance. In this paper we show that multi-bit quantisation provides a partial solution for this problem. Next we present a true solution. The approach consists of modifying the quantisation noise transfer function of the modulator to have one or several zeros at the Nyquist frequency. This way the effect of noise folding can nearly be eliminated. It is shown that this can be implemented by a simple modification of one of the integrators of the overall modulator circuit. Finally several design examples of single-bit and multi-bit modulators are discussed.

An Approach to Tackle Quantization Noise Folding in Double-Sampling Modulation A/D Converters

-modulation is a proven method to realize highand very high-resolution analog-to-digital converters. A particularly efficient way to implement such a modulator uses double-sampling where the circuit operates during both clock phases of the master-clock. Hence, the sampling frequency is twice the master-clock frequency. Unfortunately, path mismatch between both sampling branches causes a part of...

Efficient Linearisation of Sigma-Delta Modulators using Single-Bit Dither

Sigma-delta modulation, where a single-bit quantiser is embedded within a negative feedback loop (Fig. 1), is now a commonly-used technique for implementing high-resolution analogue-to-digital and digital-toanalogue converters (DACs), principally because of a favourable insensitivity to component tolerancing [1]. Single-bit quantisation generates relatively high levels of quantisation noise, he...

A double-sampling cross noise-coupled split ΣΔ-modulation A/D converter with 80 dB SNR

This paper presents the design of a double-sampling split Σ∆-modulation analog-to-digital converter with cross noisecoupling. Double-sampling is used to achieve high conversion speed and low power consumption. To tackle the problem of quantization noise folding due to path mismatch, a fully floating bilinear integrator is used. Then the quantization noise is crosscoupled between two identical Σ...

Roundoff Noise Analysis in Digital Systems for Arbitrary Sampling Rate Conversion

In this contribution the impact of finite signal wordlengths on the performance of digital systems for arbitrary sampling rate conversion (ASRC), where input and output sampling rates are derived from independent clock generators, is investigated. For two different approaches to ASRC the noise power due to both, input/output quantisation and multiplication roundoff errors, is determined as a fu...

Double-sampling Σ∆ Adc’s with Bilinear Integrators

Double-sampling allows to double the sampling frequency of a Σ∆ ADC without increasing the clock frequency. Unfortunately, path mismatch between the double-sampling branches causes noise folding, which ruins the performance. The fully-floating integrator is an interesting circuit to be used in such a double-sampling Σ∆ ADC because it is tolerant to path mismatch. However, this circuit exhibits ...
