  • Patent number: 6795006
    Abstract: An integrator with a reset mechanism comprises an integration capacitor and a replacement integration capacitor, wherein the integration capacitor is replaced with the replacement integration capacitor during a reset operation. A method of resetting an integrator comprises temporarily removing an integration capacitor and replacing the integration capacitor with a reset capacitor during a reset operation of the integrator. The method may further comprise temporarily removing the integration capacitor and replacing it with a reset capacitor multiple times during a single reset operation of the integrator.

  • Patent number: 6697000
    Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator comprising a number of integration stages and having a feed-forward path from a signal input section to the signal path prior to a final integration stage, so as to reduce processing in the majority of integration stages to error processing. A delta-sigma modulator with acceptable dynamic range and incomplete settling can be designed for audio applications using a ratio of gain bandwidth product to sampling frequency in terms of a resolution of the converter. Satisfying the criteria provided by the ratio reduces the gain bandwidth requirement below that previously used as acceptable values in data converter design.
