Definitions
- the invention relates to high-resolution digital-to-analog converters based on the principle of sigma-delta modulation, as can be used in multi-standard or multicamer base transceiver stations ("software radio"). Such converters are also suitable for all technical problems in which IBit-quantized digital signals have to be converted into analog signals.
- Ibit digital-to-analog converters of this type are based on a delta modulation, which can be regarded as a special case of differential pulse code modulation. Ideally, this should result in pulses that are absolutely identical in their course over the duration of a bit and only differ in their polarity.
- a typical application of such 1-bit digital-to-analog converters can be found in the field of DS-analog-to-digital converters (DS - Delta Sigma) and DS-digital-to-analog converters.
- the frequency with which a band-limited signal is sampled is increased to a multiple of twice the bandwidth and the word width of the sampled values is reduced to up to 1 bit.
- a 1-bit data stream is generated in the corresponding case and then fed to a 1-bit digital-to-analog converter.
- a spectrum then arises at the output of the digital-to-analog converter, which corresponds to the digital input spectrum within an interesting frequency band.
- the integral of an output pulse is identical in terms of amount for all pulses and only has a negative or a positive sign according to the polarity of the digital input value. This means in particular that the pulse integral may only depend on the digital input value and not on the digital history. For converters with a high dynamic range, therefore, even small asymmetries of the positive and negative pulses must be avoided, as well as minimal after-effects of the preceding data bit, which are referred to as memory effects.
- FIGS. 9A, 9B and 10A, 10B show useful circuit concepts for IBit digital-to-analog converters, which are described, for example, by Jayaraman et al. , "Linear High-Efficiency Microwave Power Amplifiers Using Bandpass Delta-Sigma Modulators," IEEE Microwave and Guided Wave Letters, Vol. 8, No. 3, March 1998, pp. 121-123, and in W. Gao and W.M. Snelgrove, "A 950-MHz IF Second-Order mtegrated LC Bandpass Delta-Sigma Modulator", IEEE J. Solid-State Circuits, Vol. 33, No. 5, May 1998, pp. 723-732.
- FIG. 9A shows a 1-bit digital-to-analog converter circuit, which contains a sequence of current pulses generated by a current pulse shaping unit or else a constant current i from a switching unit, consisting of the switches S1 and S2, controlled by a differential digital input signal DATAP , DATAM is switched to the positive or negative output branch OUT1, 0UT2 of a differential current output.
- FIG. 9B shows a simple embodiment of the circuit according to FIG. 9A, in which the two switches S1, S2 are implemented by two transistors T1, T2.
- the voltage output OUT is switched to the voltage UP or UM.
- the Voltages UP or UM be constant or have a predetermined pulse shape.
- the mode of operation of the circuit concept according to FIG. 9A is based on the fact that a supplied current I with the aid of a current switch S1, S2 depends on the positive or negative input branch OUT1 or OUT2 depending on the polarity of the differential digital input signal DATAP or DATAM differential current output is switched.
- the input current I can assume a constant value, have a so-called NRZ pulse or a preformed pulse shape.
- FIG. 9B namely offset voltages
- the balanced state of the switching transistors T1 and T2 should be run through quickly, as is customary for switch operation . This means that shaping the output pulse using the two inputs is not advisable.
- the present invention relates to IBit digital-to-analog converters with two inputs, one or two outputs, switching units and one or two pulse shaping units, the outputs, switching unit and the pulse shaping units being decoupled from one another by decoupling units.
- decoupling units can be formed by cascode isolation stages, the cascode isolation stages being formed by transistors T5, T6, T7.
- the cascodes are preferably driven with bias current, in which a mutual switching of the constant currents into a dynamic element matching stage can be provided.
- the present invention relates to a 1-bit digital-to-analog converter with one or two outputs, two inputs, one switching unit and one or two pulse shaping units, each input being designed in pairs and a second switching unit being designed for each switching unit that a switching operation is basically forced each time the input bit changes.
- an "H” level is present at exactly one of the inputs and an "L” level at exactly three inputs during the duration of a bit.
- the switching elements are formed by transistors. Furthermore, in an inventive 1-bit digital-to-analog converter with one or two outputs, two inputs, a switching unit and one or two pulse shaping units, in the case of a current switching, the current 1 of the pulse shaping unit is switched to a constant one by the data sequence during a switching operation of the data inputs not bemflußbaren value ge ⁇ on, and the corresponding voltage difference of the pulse shaping unit connected during egg nes switching operation of the emgange to a constant, not bemflußbaren by the data sequence value in the case of a voltage circuit.
- the current I preferably takes the value 0, and in the case of the voltage circuit the corresponding voltage difference takes the value 0.
- circuit forms of the IBit digital-to-analog converter according to the invention and m digital-to-analog converter circuits are advantageously used for a larger word width.
- the circuit forms of the IBit digital-to-analog converter according to the invention are also advantageously used in n-bit converter circuits, for example 1.5-bit converters.
- Such converters switch an output current depending on a logical input value, which can assume the states +1, -1 and 0, to a positive output, a negative output or, for example, a positive supply voltage.
- 1 a shows the circuit diagram of a first embodiment of an 1-bit digital-to-analog converter for converting digital input values m current pulses
- 2 shows the circuit diagram of a first embodiment of an IBit digital-to-analog converter according to the invention for converting digital input values m voltage pulses
- FIG. 3 shows a first realization of the concept according to FIG. 1,
- FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of an 1-bit digital-analog converter for converting digital information voltage pulses
- FIG. 6 shows the current circuit variant of the second embodiment of an IBit digital-to-analog converter for converting digital information in current pulses
- FIG. 7 shows an implementation of the circuit diagram according to FIG. 6,
- FIGS. 9a and 9b show a known 1-bit digital-analog converter for converting digital information into current pulses
- FIGS. 10a and 10b show a known circuit of an IBit digital-to-analog converter for converting digital information into voltage pulses.
- FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show the schematic representation of a first embodiment of the 1-bit digital-to-analog converter according to the invention both for converting digital information the values "+1", "-1" m current (Fig. 1) or voltage pulses (Fig. 2).
- Fig. 1 shows the values "+1", "-1" m current (Fig. 1) or voltage pulses (Fig. 2).
- Fig. 2 shows emgange DATAP, signal DATAM which are connected to the positive or negative output branch OUT1, OUT2 ei ⁇ nes differential current output or in the concept of Fig. 2 in turn is controlled by the differential input digital signal DATAP, signal DATAM the voltage output OUT of the Voltage UP or UM switched.
- the switching units are symbolized in this case by switches S1, S2 or S3, S4.
- the outputs, switching units and the pulse shaping units are decoupled from one another by special stages, shown in the circuit diagram as decoupling units EKA, EKB, EKC, EKD and EKE, so that no interference with the Converter function can take place through mutual influence.
- decoupling units EKA, EKB, EKC, EKD and EKE decoupling units
- the decoupling units EKA and EKB are formed by an upper cascode level consisting of two transistors T5 and T6, while the decoupling stage EKB is formed by a lower cascode level, consisting of a transistor T7.
- the bases of the corresponding transistors T5, T6 and T7 are biased by a corresponding voltage UCASC1 or UCASC2.
- the appropriate decoupling is achieved by the cascode separation stage.
- FIG. 4 shows a further development of the circuit according to FIG. 3 realized by cascode separation stages, in which the upper one Dene hull plane, is operated namely the decoupling stage EKA, with bias current IV1 and IV2 to the fluctuation of the Kol ⁇ of the switching transistors T5 and T6 lecturer voltage during the switching operation to be reduced. Since the differences in the bias currents IV1, IV2 would lead to a considerable disturbance of the converter, a so-called dynamic element matchmg DEM was provided, which causes the constant currents E1 and E2 supplied to the dynamic element matchmg DEM to be switched alternately. It is thereby achieved that the bias currents INI, IV2 through both cascode transistors T5 and T6 have exactly the same value on average over time.
- a dynamic element matchmg of this type has the effect that, over a time average, functional elements that differ from one another in an initial state are matched. This is achieved by changing their function rhythmically. For example, output currents from four current sources, which nominally deliver an identical output current, are exchanged at high frequency in order to compensate for slight deviations of the output currents from one another on a statistical average. As a boundary condition, it should be noted that the frequency with which the exchange is carried out does not limit the effective spectrum of use.
- FIG. 5 and 6 show a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the 1-bit digital-to-analog converter according to the invention, both for voltage operation (FIG. 5) and for current operation (FIG. 6).
- a switching operation is fundamentally enforced with every bit change, whereby a bit change can occur, for example, even without a change in the input bit.
- the duration of a bit there is basically an "H" level at exactly one of the inputs DATAPI, DATAP2, DATAMI and DATAM2 and exactly at three inputs em ' ⁇ "level.
- FIG. 8 shows the mode of operation of a third embodiment of the invention.
- the concept of the known circuit according to FIG. 9A is considered again in more detail.
- the functioning of the circuit concept is based on the fact that em fed current l (pulse shaping unit) is switched to the positive or negative output 0UT1, OUT2 of a differential current output using a current switch S1, S2 depending on the polarity of the differential digital input signal DATAP, DATAM.
- the input current can assume a constant value (NRZ pulse) or can also have a preformed pulse shape. All previously known solutions have the property that the input current I has a non-disappearing amount during the switching process.
- the input current I is now controlled during the switching process, a constant value which cannot be influenced by the data sequence, for example by means of a corresponding regulation (not shown), so that aftereffects of the previous data bit can be excluded.
- the current I is kept as small as possible during the switching process or is switched off completely. In this way, fluctuations in the input current I become constant of the switching process almost completely or completely excluded. Memory effects cannot occur.
- a disturb ⁇ itters while the data clock to eliminate the influence of the phase relative to the clock of the pulse-shaped input current 1 is to ensure that the current remains l for a sufficient period of time during the switching operation disconnected.
- the resulting pulse shape is shown in FIG. 8.
- the principle can also be applied to the voltage circuit in FIG. 10A. In this case, it must be ensured that there are no voltage differences between the output OUT and the input voltages UP and UM in the vicinity of the switching process or that the voltage difference is kept constant.
- the embodiments according to the invention shown above can be integrated monolithically, especially in the area of base stations in the mobile communication area, in base stations of the mobile multimedia area and in sigma
- Delta converters both digital-analog and analog-digital, can be used.
