    Abstract: A sigma-delta modulator is provided for generating a digital output signal. The sigma-delta modulator is used to generate a digital output signal. The sigma-delta modulator includes a multi-stage loop filter and a quantizer. The multi-stage loop filter receives an analog input signal and generates an integrated output signal according to the analog input signal. The quantizer is coupled to the multi-stage loop filter. The quantizer receives the integrated output signal and quantizes the integrated output signal to generate the digital output signal. Different feed-forward paths of the sigma-delta modulator are available for different frequency bands.

    Abstract: An edge detector includes flip-flops receiving phase signals of a ring oscillator, a resetter canceling the reset states of the flip-flops at the edge timing of an input signal, and a logical operator performing a logical operation on output signals of the flip-flops. A phase state detector detects a phase state of the ring oscillator occurring at the edge timing of the input signal based on the output signals of the flip-flops. A time-to-digital converter converts an edge interval between the input signal and an output signal of the logical operator into a digital value. A latch latches a value of a counter counting the number of cycles of an output signal of the ring oscillator, at the edge timing of the input signal. An operator calculates a digital value of a received signal from output signals of the latch, the phase state detector, and the time-to-digital converter.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for regulating analogue-to-digital converters. First and second input signals are received at controlled oscillator circuitry which generates respective first and second pulse streams with pulse rates based on the relevant input signal. Difference circuitry determines the difference in number of pulses of the first and second pulse streams and outputs a first digital signal. Circuitry also determines a signal independent value based on the number of pulses of the first and/or second pulse streams. In one embodiment this value is the sum or average of the number of pulses of the first and second pulse streams. This value can be used to calibrate for any variation in transfer characteristic of the oscillator circuitry. In one embodiment this value is compared to a reference value and a regulation signal passed to control circuitry to regulate the operation of the oscillation circuitry.

    Abstract: A comparison circuit is provided and includes first and second comparators and a first time-to-digital comparator. The first comparator with a first offset voltage receives an input signal and generates a first comparison signal and a first inverse comparison signal. The second comparator receives the input signal and generates a second comparison signal and a second inverse comparison signal. The first offset voltage is larger than the second offset voltage. The first time-to-digital comparator receives the first comparison signal and the second inverse comparison signal and generates first and second determination signals according to the first comparison signal and the second inverse comparison signal. The first and second determination signals indicate whether a voltage of the input signal is larger than a first middle voltage. The first middle voltage is equal to a half of the sum of the first offset voltage and the second offset voltage.

    Abstract: In a data compression system, a digital signal comprising a series of digital samples and a sampling datum associated with each digital sample is received by a decoder. The sampling datum indicates the sampling interval of the associated digital sample. The decoder includes a microcomputer for storing the digital signal into a memory (M2) and reading each digital sample and the associated sampling datum. The digital sample is divided by the sampling datum to derive a quotient which indicates the slope of the signal to be recovered. The quotient is integrated by an integrator (6b) to provide interpolation between successive sampling points, so that the original signal is approximated by a plurality of line segments.

    Abstract: A multi-stage resistive ladder network which uses extra stages to trim out resistance discrepencies. All of the stages are interconnected in a series. Nominally, current is divided in half within each stage. Half of the current is gated onto a bus in response to logic control signals, and the other half of the current is passed onto the next succeeding stage. Due to various processing limitations, the resistors comprising each stage vary slightly from their nominal value, which in turn upsets the current division. To compensate for this additional current dividing stages are serially connected to the last stage of the ladder. Current from these additional stages are selectively coupled onto the bus in response to the logic signals in addition to the current which is normally coupled thereto.
