  • Publication number: 20120262320
    Abstract: Two T filters, one of which includes two resistive elements and one capacitive element and the other of which includes two capacitive elements and one resistive element, are inserted in a negative-feedback section of an operational amplifier, and a resistive element and a capacitive element are connected between each of intermediate nodes and a signal input terminal. A resistive element and a capacitive element which are connected to each other in parallel are connected between the signal input terminal and an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier. With this configuration, overall admittances where elements connected to the corresponding intermediate nodes are in parallel connection are equal to each other.

  • Publication number: 20110254718
    Abstract: An integrator is provided which can reduce a disturbance in the current waveform of a current DA converter in order to improve the SNR of a ?? modulator, for example. The integrator includes an operational amplifier, and feedback paths provided in parallel between the output terminal and inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier. In one of the feedback paths, an integrating capacitor and at least one resistor are connected in series. In the other feedback path, a second integrating capacitor whose capacitance value is smaller than that of the integrating capacitor is provided.

  • Publication number: 20110200077
    Abstract: In a DSM including a loop in which an output signal of a quantizer is digitally processed, and fed back through a DAC to an analog filter, the quantizer quantizes an analog signal from an analog filter section to output a digital signal. The digital signal from the quantizer is digitally processed in a first-order recursive filter circuit including a variable gain amplifier and a delay element. A LUT receives both the digital signal from the quantizer and a table control signal, which is an output signal from the recursive filter circuit, and stores in advance compensation values corresponding to the both signals. A compensation value from the LUT is used to provide a digital output signal compensated for a delay. The digital output signal is converted into an analog signal in the DAC, and then subtracted from an analog input signal in the analog filter section.

  • Publication number: 20110133964
    Abstract: An oversampling A/D converter includes a first filter including a first resistive element, a first capacitive element, a second resistive element, an operational amplifier, and a second capacitive element; a second filter receiving an output of the first filter; a third filter including a third resistive element, a third capacitive element, and a fourth resistive element; a quantizer receiving an output of the third filter and generating a digital signal; and a D/A converter converting the digital signal to an analog current signal. The D/A converter inputs the generated analog current signal to an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier.

  • Publication number: 20110018752
    Abstract: In a flash A/D converter, a predictor predicts next analog input data based on a digital output signal from an A/D converter, and outputs prediction data. Based on the prediction data from the predictor, a controller turns on comparators having reference voltages near the prediction data, and in order to ensure a certain degree of A/D conversion accuracy even when the prediction fails, also turns on even-numbered comparators 103.2a (where a is 0 to 7), for example. In this manner, even when prediction of next analog input data fails, a 4-bit A/D converter can perform A/D conversion with 3-bit accuracy, while saving power consumption by reducing the number of comparators to be turned on.

  • Patent number: 7157985
    Abstract: First and second calibration signals (308, 309) are sent to a frequency divider (102) and an adder (116) of a PLL section (100A), demodulated in a demodulator (111), filtered through a low pass filter (113) and a high pass filter (114) and thereafter sent to a modulation signal control circuit (115). The modulation signal control circuit (115) generates control information (318) in comparison with the phase and amplitude of the first and second calibration signals (308 and 309) and sends the control information (318) to a modulation control signal generator (106). Modulation control signal generator (106) holds the control information (318) and controls the values of the first modulation signal and second modulation signal sent to the frequency divider (102) and adder (116) on the based on the control information (318) held in modulation operation.
