  • Patent number: 9742428
    Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator includes a loop filter, a quantizer configured to change an analog output signal into a digital signal, and a digital-to-analog converter configured to receive the digital signal and including a first capacitor and a second capacitor. In a first sampling period, the first capacitor is discharged, and at the same time, the second capacitor is charged with a reference voltage. In a second sampling period, the digital signal includes noise caused by a clock jitter, the first capacitor is charged with a reference voltage, and the second capacitor is discharged and generates a charge corresponding to the noise. In a next first sampling period, the first capacitor is discharged, and at the same time, the second capacitor generates a noise current corresponding to the noise using the charge and is charged with a reference voltage.

  • Patent number: 8451056
    Abstract: A symmetrical signal generator that includes a first signal part configured to produce a first output pulse signal using a first input pulse signal and a second input pulse signal asymmetrical to each other, and a second signal part configured to produce a second output pulse signal using the first input pulse signal and the second input pulse signal. The second output pulse signal is one inverted to be symmetrical to the first output pulse signal.
