DELTA SIGMA MODULATOR WITH DYNAMIC ERROR CANCELLATION

The disclosure provides a delta sigma modulator that includes a first input port and a second input port. These ports receive a differential input signal. A DAC is coupled to the first input port and the second input port, and receives a differential feedback signal and a plurality of selection signals. A loop filter generates a differential filtered signal in response to a differential error signal. The differential error signal is proportional to a difference in the differential input signal and the differential feedback signal. A quantizer generates a quantized output signal in response to the differential filtered signal. A modified DWA block coupled between the quantizer and the DAC, generates the plurality of selection signals in response to a chop clock, a regular clock, the quantized output signal and a plurality of selection index signals. A selection index signal is dependent on previously generated plurality of selection signals.

Circuit with two digital-to-analog converters and method of operating such the circuit

A circuit 100 is described comprising (i) a first digital-to-analog converter 110, (ii) a second digital-to-analog converter 111, (iii) a plurality of unit elements 120, and (iv) switching circuitry 130. The switching circuitry 130 is adapted so that in a first switching state 231, a set of unit elements 221 of the plurality of unit elements 120 forms part of the first digital-to-analog converter 110, and in a second switching state 232, the set of unit elements 221 forms part of the second digital-to-analog converter 111. Furthermore, a corresponding method of operating a circuit 100 is described.
