Vector delta-sigma modulation with integral shaping of hardware-mismatch errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A common architecture here unifies ordinary scalar deltasigma modulators, vector I/O delta-sigma modulators (including parallel banks of scalar ones), mismatch-shaping DACs, delta-sigma modulators incorporating mismatchshaping DACs in the conventional way, and something new: scalar or vector delta-sigma modulators incorporating spectral shaping of hardware mismatches as a natural and integral part of the modulator structure. The common architecture resembles a conventional delta-sigma loop but using vector signals and a vector quantizer to operate in a space of higher dimension than the input/output, which are inserted/extracted from the loop along a subspace. The expansion of dimension provides the redundancy that permits the spectral shaping of hardware errors. This common view of these systems suggests that the multidimensional structure of the quantizer is key.

Joint Shaping of Quantization and Hardware-Mismatch Errors in a Multibit Delta-Sigma DAC
A recent sigma-delta modulator architecture incorporates spectral shaping of hardware-mismatch errors through redundancy introduced by embedding the input/output subspace in a higher-dimensional space for loop operation. Here basic design issues for the key vector quantizer and matriximpulse-response loop filter are explored. A simple design example and simulation illustrate.
متن کاملSimplified Logic for First-Order and Second-Order Mismatch-Shaping Digital-to-Analog Converters
Mismatch-shaping digital-to-analog converters (DACs) have become widely used in high-performance delta–sigma data converters because they facilitate delta–sigma modulators with multibit quantization. Relative to single-bit quantization, multibit quantization significantly relaxes the analog circuit performance necessary to achieve a given level of data converter precision, but significant digit...
متن کاملReducing multibit DAC circuits errors by a simplified dynamic element matching algorithm used in delta-sigma converters
Resolution of a multibit delta-sigma modulator (DSM) is limited by its internal digital-to-analog converter (DAC) nonlinearity that is usually caused by circuit mismatch errors while realizing. Recently, some dynamic element matching (DEM) methods were proposed for reducing mismatch errors. Two main difficulties of different dynamic element matching (DEM) techniques relate to instability and co...
متن کاملSpace-time vector delta-sigma modulation
Classical delta-sigma modulation gains resolution through temporal oversampling by using a high-speed, low-resolution quantizer and shaping the resulting quantization errors out of the signal band. Likewise, spatial delta-sigma modulation is often used in image halftoning to create high-visual-quality binary images. We consider combining spatial and temporal delta-sigma modulation to reduce tem...

This work presents a novel noise-shaping cascaded sigma-delta modulator that incorporates two stages. The first stage is realized by low-order single bit architecture, while the second stage is realized by a high-order feed-forward multi-bit architecture. Moreover, the error cancellation schemes can be added in the digital circuit part to cancel the coarse quantization errors and thus effective...
