Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for audio communications. The present implementations more specifically relate to transmitting and receiving audio data at sample rates that are non-integer multiples of a clock frequency. In some aspects, a serial bus interface may generate a word select (WS) signal based on an input clock signal and may dynamically adjust a periodicity of the WS signal so that the WS signal has an effective frequency equal to a non-integer multiple of the clock frequency. In some implementations, the WS signal may be produced by direct digital synthesis (DDS) of the clock signal using a frequency control word (FCW). In such implementations, the periodicity of the WS signal may be dynamically adjusted by biasing the FCW based on errors or differences between the frequency of the WS signal and the desired frequency (such as in a feedback loop).

Abstract: An accumulation-mode MOS varactor is formed with a standard CMOS process and having an anti-symmetric-CV curve. The asymmetric varactor (ASVAR) can efficiently generate even-order harmonics while simultaneously suppressing odd-order harmonics over broad bandwidths.

Abstract: A time-interleaved digital-to-analog converter (DAC) uses M DAC cores to convert a digital input signal whose digital input words are spread to different DAC cores to produce a final analog outputs. The M DAC cores, operating in a time-interleaved fashion, can increase the sampling rate several times compared to the sampling rate of just one DAC. However, sequential time-interleaving DAC cores often exhibit undesirable spurs at the output. To spread those spurs to the noise floor, the time-interleaving DAC cores can be selected at a pseudo randomized manner or in a specific manner which can break up the sequential or periodic manner of selecting the DAC cores.
