Description

雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器與其電路Bimodal δ-Δ analog to digital converter and its circuit

本發明係有關於一種雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器(ADC),更特別係有關於一種用以操作在接收屬於低中頻及/或近零中頻近零中頻的雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器。The present invention relates to a bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter (ADC), and more particularly to a dual mode for operating at a low intermediate frequency and/or near zero intermediate frequency near zero intermediate frequency. State δ-Δ analog to digital converter.

自1960年起,δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器已廣泛應用於電子工業上。該δ-Δ技術具有吸引力是因為它藉由精確時間之控制而不需精確匹配晶片上元件,從而實現了高解析度。因此,δ-Δ技術是許多積體電路應用的技術其中之一的選擇。Since 1960, δ-Δ analog to digital converters have been widely used in the electronics industry. This delta-delta technique is attractive because it achieves high resolution by precise time control without the need to precisely match the components on the wafer. Therefore, the delta-delta technique is one of the choices of many integrated circuit applications.

一種基本的δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器接收一類比輸入訊號且減去一個回饋訊號以提供一錯誤訊號。該錯誤訊號的處理是透過一低通濾波器然後經由量化以形成一數位輸出訊號。此一數位輸出訊號回饋至數位至類比轉換器(DAC)轉換該回饋數位訊輸出至類比訊號後,與前端接收類比訊號相減。除了該回饋數位至類比轉換器,該基本δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器可以傳統之類比元件實現,例如操作放大器、比較器及切換式電容濾波器等。由於積體電路時脈速度允許採用較高取樣率,因此一般δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器通常可提供高解析度。基本的δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器藉由回饋技術把量化雜訊移往高頻段,因此能具有極高的訊號雜訊比(SNR),而該頻帶外的量化雜訊亦可藉由傳統之濾波技術來充分消除。A basic delta-delta analog to digital converter receives an analog input signal and subtracts a feedback signal to provide an error signal. The error signal is processed through a low pass filter and then quantized to form a digital output signal. The digital output signal is fed back to the digital to analog converter (DAC) to convert the feedback digital signal output to the analog signal, and is subtracted from the front end receiving analog signal. In addition to the feedback digital to analog converter, the basic delta-delta analog to digital converter can be implemented with conventional analog components such as operational amplifiers, comparators, and switched capacitor filters. Since the integrated circuit clock speed allows for a higher sampling rate, a typical delta-delta analog to digital converter typically provides high resolution. The basic δ-Δ analog-to-digital converter shifts the quantized noise to the high frequency band by feedback technology, so it can have a very high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the extra-band quantization noise can also be traditional. The filtering technique is fully eliminated.

參照美國專利US 5,461,381號,頒給Seaberg,其標題為“具有回饋補償δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器(ADC)及其製作方法”。其揭示一δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器包含一第一及第二積分器,一量化器連接至該第二積分器之一輸出,及一回饋電路連接至該量化器之輸出。為了避免經由實際電路元件之延遲影響,該回饋電路保持該回饋訊號至該第一積分器在一高阻抗態直到該量化器解析該第二積分器的輸出。因此,該第一積分器避免了暫時加總一可能不正確的回饋訊號。除此之外,該回饋電路也避免該第一積分器積分一輸入訊號及該回饋號直到該回饋訊號被驅使修正至正確態以回應該量化器的輸出。為了完成這些結果,該回饋電路是包含一補償電路用以連續判斷該量化器何時有解。U.S. Patent No. 5,461,381, issued to Seaberg, entitled "with feedback compensation δ-Δ analog to digital converter (ADC) and method of making the same." It is disclosed that a delta-delta analog to digital converter includes a first and second integrator, a quantizer coupled to one of the outputs of the second integrator, and a feedback circuit coupled to the output of the quantizer. In order to avoid the effects of delay through the actual circuit components, the feedback circuit maintains the feedback signal to the first integrator in a high impedance state until the quantizer resolves the output of the second integrator. Therefore, the first integrator avoids temporarily summing up a possibly incorrect feedback signal. In addition, the feedback circuit also prevents the first integrator from integrating an input signal and the feedback signal until the feedback signal is driven to correct to the correct state to return to the output of the quantizer. In order to accomplish these results, the feedback circuit includes a compensation circuit for continuously determining when the quantizer has a solution.

參照美國專利US 6,225,928號,頒給Green,其標題為“複數帶通調變器及方法使用於δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器(ADC)”。其揭示藉由提供一具有對元件匹配性不敏感之一交叉耦合離散時間複數迴路濾波結構及藉由提供一簡單架構以修正調變器不匹配的影響,一離散時間交叉耦合至複數旁通調變器以實現帶通δ-Δ轉換。該複數個帶通調變器包含一複數個非線性諧振器連結在一起並作為一線性複數操作器。每一諧振器將作為一線性複數操作器,當一虛數的輸入訊號在一半樣本區間被延遲及一虛數的輸出訊號在一半樣本區間被增強。此外,調配器不匹配導致降階的影響是藉由數位調整實數及虛數路徑的相關增益及調整實數及虛數輸入訊號的相關增益而消除,而該實數及虛數路徑係接在該類比至數位轉換器的輸出之後。Referring to U.S. Patent No. 6,225,928, to Green, entitled "Multiple Bandpass Modulators and Methods for Delta-Delta Analog to Digital Converters (ADC)". It discloses a discrete-time cross-coupling to complex bypass by providing a cross-coupled discrete-time complex loop filtering structure that is insensitive to component matching and by providing a simple architecture to correct the effects of modulator mismatch The transformer is implemented to achieve bandpass delta-delta conversion. The plurality of band pass modulators includes a plurality of nonlinear resonators coupled together and acting as a linear complex operator. Each resonator will act as a linear complex operator, with an imaginary input signal being delayed in half the sample interval and an imaginary output signal being enhanced in half the sample interval. In addition, the effect of the reduction of the adapter mismatch is eliminated by digitally adjusting the correlation gain of the real and imaginary paths and adjusting the correlation gain of the real and imaginary input signals, and the real and imaginary paths are coupled to the analog to digital conversion. After the output of the device.

參照美國專利US 6,954,628號,頒給Minnis等人,其標題為“無線電接收器”。其揭示一無線電接收器係架構於操作在低中頻(low-IF)及近零中頻(near zero IF)模態,其具有在模態間類比及數位迴路的最大再利用性。該接收器包含一正交降轉器以於一中頻產生入相位(I)及正交(Q)訊號及一複數濾波器以消除鏡像頻率。在該低中頻模態,該濾波器之輸出(Q)的一端是未使用的,然而其他的(I)是藉由一非複數類比至數位轉換器被數位化,然後該數位訊號再經過數位濾波器處理,於是產生正交中頻訊號。在該近零中頻模態,利用兩個非複數數位至類比轉換器平行進行數位化。,藉由進行頻道過濾及非複數類比至數位轉換,屆此可避免重覆的迴路及提供顯著的節能。Referring to U.S. Patent No. 6,954,628, to Minnis et al., entitled "Radio Receiver". It reveals that a radio receiver architecture operates in a low-IF and near zero IF mode with maximum reusability of analog-to-analog and digital loops. The receiver includes a quadrature downconverter for generating phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals and a complex filter at an intermediate frequency to cancel the image frequency. In the low intermediate frequency mode, one end of the output (Q) of the filter is unused, while the other (I) is digitized by a non-complex analog to digital converter, and then the digital signal passes through Digital filter processing, thus generating orthogonal IF signals. In the near zero intermediate frequency mode, the digitization is performed in parallel using two non-complex digital to analog converters. By performing channel filtering and non-complex analog to digital conversion, it is possible to avoid repeated loops and provide significant energy savings.

參照美國專利US 7,176,817號,頒給Jensen,其標題為“具有抖動的連續時間δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器”。其揭示一數位訊號處理及類比迴路的混合應用以減少殘餘雜訊存在於連續時間δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器。藉由特別添加一少量隨機的雜訊,去除來自輸入訊號相關的量化雜訊而不會顯著降低訊號雜訊比(SNR)特性。在每一個實施例中,數位迴路利用來產生所需的隨機性,去相關性及抖動的特殊頻譜和簡單的類比迴路區塊以用來適度規畫及內插該抖動訊號至連續時間δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器迴路。在該發明之一實施例中,隨機雜訊是被加入至該量化器輸入,在該發明之另一實施例,一隨機加入小數量電流用以去除相關來自輸入訊號之該量化雜訊而維持原有的訊號雜訊比。Referring to U.S. Patent No. 7,176,817, issued to Jensen, entitled "Continuous Time Delta-Delta Analog to Digital Converter with Jitter". It discloses a hybrid application of digital signal processing and analog loops to reduce residual noise in a continuous time delta-delta analog to digital converter. By adding a small amount of random noise, the quantization noise associated with the input signal is removed without significantly reducing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) characteristics.

The state of the delta-delta analog to the state of the digital converter 100.

現請參考第3圖,其顯示操作在近零中頻之雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器之接收機電路200之方塊圖。該射頻接收器架構廣泛應用於現今。該接收機電路200包含一低雜訊放大器210;一頻率合成器240;一第一混頻器220;一第二混頻器221;一低通濾波器231,一第一雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100及一第二雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100。需注意的,該模態元件190雖然是在雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100中,但為了清楚表達該接收機電路200,該模態元件190被獨立的在圖中顯示。Referring now to Figure 3, there is shown a block diagram of a receiver circuit 200 operating at a near zero intermediate frequency bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter. This RF receiver architecture is widely used today. The receiver circuit 200 includes a low noise amplifier 210; a frequency synthesizer 240; a first mixer 220; a second mixer 221; a low pass filter 231, a first bimodal δ- The delta analog to digital converter 100 and a second bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter 100. It should be noted that although the modal element 190 is in the bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter 100, the modal element 190 is shown separately in the figure for clarity of the receiver circuit 200.

該低雜訊放大器(LNA)210放大一被接收之弱訊號,該訊號然後通過混頻器220,221階段,接著藉由低通濾波器(LPF)230濾除超出頻帶的干擾。該頻率合成器240具有一第一輸出端以提供一第一訊號至該混頻器220及一第二輸出端以提供一第二訊號至該混頻器221。該混頻器220具有一第一輸入端耦合至該低雜訊放大器210之該輸出端,一第二輸入端耦合至該頻率合成器240該第一輸入端及一輸出端。該第二混頻器221具有一第一輸入端耦合至該低雜訊放大器210之該輸出端,一第二輸入端耦合至該頻率合成器240之第二輸入端,及一輸出端。該低通濾波器230具有一第一輸入端耦合至該第一混頻器220之該輸出端,一第二輸出端耦合至第二混頻器221之該輸出端,一第一輸出端耦合至一第一雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100(在上)及一第二輸出端耦合至一第二雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100(在下)。來自該低通濾波器(LPF)230的降頻I及Q訊號傳輸至該輸入節點”AIN”及”BIN”,且個別的通過類比至數位轉換器100,然而此時只需要輸入“AIN“一個節點。此處兩個數位至類比轉換器(揭示於3圖下方)是完全相同的,即一數位至類比轉換器進行I訊號而另一數位至類比轉換器進行Q訊號。The low noise amplifier (LNA) 210 amplifies a received weak signal, which then passes through the mixer 220, 221 stage, and then filters out the interference beyond the frequency band by a low pass filter (LPF) 230. The frequency synthesizer 240 has a first output to provide a first signal to the mixer 220 and a second output to provide a second signal to the mixer 221.

The down-converted I and Q signals from the low pass filter (LPF) 230 are transmitted to the input nodes "AIN" and "BIN", and the individual passes analogy to the digital converter 100, but only the input "AIN" is required at this time. A node. Here, the two digit-to-analog converters (disclosed below the figure 3) are identical, that is, one digit to the analog converter performs the I signal and the other digit to the analog converter performs the Q signal.

現請參考第4圖,其揭示了該雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100操作在近零中頻之訊號流向圖。當該模態元件190之模態訊號等於零,此時該δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100操作在近零中頻(NZIF)模態,該切換式元件133,134應被關閉(off),及該上層回饋路徑應被斷路,如圖4所示,同時,該切換式元件132應被打開(on),及輸入訊號AIN是等於BIN。所以當訊號饋入時,我們可以使用其一輸入節點。在此一架構下,該δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100具有一高通雜訊傳輸函數其零點位置坐落於原始頻率上。Referring now to Figure 4, there is disclosed a signal flow diagram of the bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter 100 operating at near zero intermediate frequency. When the modal signal of the modal element 190 is equal to zero, the δ-Δ analog to the digital converter 100 operates in a near zero intermediate frequency (NZIF) mode, the switching elements 133, 134 should be turned off, and The upper feedback path should be broken, as shown in Figure 4. At the same time, the switching element 132 should be turned "on" and the input signal AIN is equal to BIN. So when the signal is fed, we can use one of its input nodes. Under this architecture, the delta-delta analog to digital converter 100 has a high pass noise transfer function whose zero position is located at the original frequency.

現請參考5圖,其揭示操作在低中頻之雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器之接收機電路201之方塊圖。同樣的接收器架構包含該低雜訊放大器210及該混頻器220,221但連結至一帶通濾波器(BPF)232及本發明之雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100。需注意的,該模態元件190雖然是在雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100中,但為了清楚表達該接收機電路200,該模態元件190被獨立的在圖中顯示。Referring now to Figure 5, there is shown a block diagram of a receiver circuit 201 operating at a low intermediate frequency bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter. The same receiver architecture includes the low noise amplifier 210 and the mixers 220, 221 but coupled to a bandpass filter (BPF) 232 and the bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter 100 of the present invention. It should be noted that although the modal element 190 is in the bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter 100, the modal element 190 is shown separately in the figure for clarity of the receiver circuit 200.

該頻率合成器240具有一第一輸入端以提供一第一訊號至該混頻器220及一第二輸出端以提供一第二訊號至該混頻器221。該第一混頻器220具有一第一輸入端耦合至該低雜訊放大器210之該輸出端,一第二輸入端耦合至該合成器240之該第一輸入端及一輸出端。該第二混頻器221具有一第一輸入端耦合至該低雜訊放大器210之輸出端,一第二輸入端耦合至該合成器240之該第二輸出端及一輸出端。該帶通濾波器232具有一第一輸入端耦合該第一混頻器220之該輸出端,一第二輸入端耦合至該第二混頻器221之該輸出端,一第一輸出耦合至一第一雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100(在第五圖上方)及一第二輸出端耦合至一第二雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100(在第五圖下方)。The frequency synthesizer 240 has a first input terminal to provide a first signal to the mixer 220 and a second output terminal to provide a second signal to the mixer 221 . The first mixer 220 has a first input coupled to the output of the low noise amplifier 210, and a second input coupled to the first input and an output of the combiner 240. The second mixer 221 has a first input coupled to the output of the low noise amplifier 210 and a second input coupled to the second output and an output of the combiner 240. The bandpass filter 232 has a first input coupled to the output of the first mixer 220, a second input coupled to the output of the second mixer 221, and a first output coupled to the output A first bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter 100 (above the fifth figure) and a second output coupled to a second bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter 100 (in the fifth diagram) Below).

在該帶通濾波器232之前之該降頻訊號或許具有干擾能量且能被該第二雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100(在第五圖下方)所解譯。該第二雙模態δ-Δ數位至類比轉換器100具有該偵測將監控干擾訊號,一旦該訊號過大且超出該帶通濾波器232之線性範圍,將提醒該低雜訊放大器210降低增益以避免干擾訊號飽合該帶通濾波器(BPF)232。此時,該第一δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100(在上)應接收來自帶通濾波器(BPF)232平常I及Q路徑被降頻之訊號,然後轉移成資料的數位字碼(Data stream),藉由基頻處理器讀出。亦即,即使該第一雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100(在上)及第二雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100(在下)為一樣的元件,他們接收不同的訊號,當該模態元件190之模態(MODE)訊號是等於1及該雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100操作在低中頻模態。The down-converted signal preceding the bandpass filter 232 may have interference energy and can be interpreted by the second bimodal delta-delta analog to the digital converter 100 (below the fifth figure). The second bimodal delta-delta digital to analog converter 100 has the detection to monitor the interference signal. Once the signal is too large and exceeds the linear range of the bandpass filter 232, the low noise amplifier 210 is alerted to reduce the gain. To avoid interference signals, the bandpass filter (BPF) 232 is saturated. At this time, the first δ-Δ analog to digital converter 100 (on) should receive a signal from the bandpass filter (BPF) 232 that the normal I and Q paths are down-converted, and then transferred to a digital code of the data (Data). Stream), read by the baseband processor. That is, even if the first bimodal δ-Δ analog to the digital converter 100 (on) and the second bimodal δ-Δ analog to the digital converter 100 (below) are the same components, they receive different The signal, when the modal signal of the modal element 190 is equal to 1 and the bimodal δ-Δ analog to the digital converter 100 operates in a low intermediate frequency mode.

現請參考6圖,其揭示該雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100操作於低中頻之該訊號流向圖。當該模態元件190之模態訊號是等於1及該雙模態δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100是操作在低中頻模態,該切換式元件133,134應被打開(on)及該切換式元件132此時應被關閉(off),如圖6所示。該上層回饋路徑現在是連結的,此時δ-Δ類比至數位轉換器100具有一高通雜訊傳輸函數其中該零點位置落於中頻。在此一架構下“AIN”及“BIN”節點處理個別訊號並利用該切換式電容操作使得輸入訊號相加成如“AIN+BIN”。Referring now to Figure 6, there is disclosed the signal flow diagram of the bimodal delta-delta analog to digital converter 100 operating at a low intermediate frequency. When the modal signal of the modal element 190 is equal to 1 and the bimodal δ-Δ analog to the digital converter 100 is operating in a low intermediate frequency mode, the switching elements 133, 134 should be turned "on" and the switching The element 132 should now be turned off, as shown in FIG. The upper layer feedback path is now coupled, in which case the delta-delta analog to digital converter 100 has a high pass noise transfer function in which the zero position falls on the intermediate frequency. In this architecture, the "AIN" and "BIN" nodes process individual signals and use the switched capacitor operation to add input signals such as "AIN+BIN".
