Description
- 1. Field
- The present invention relates generally to audio signal processing and, more particularly, to digital to analog converters.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Design of digital audio systems involves a number of trade-offs that result in the system having certain characteristics that are beneficial and certain characteristics that are less desirable. For example, the range of the system can be sacrificed to allow for simpler circuit designs. Also, device size can be minimized by sacrificing other parameters depending on the desired characteristics of the system. One component of a digital audio system that affects its performance is the digital to analog converter (DAC). In particular, the DAC component may adversely affect the linearity of the digital audio system response because of nonlinearities within the DAC component.
- A DAC typically includes a stage that converts a current to an analog voltage using an operational amplifier and a feedback resistor. If the feedback resistor includes nonlinear characteristics, then the voltage output from the DAC will also have a nonlinear response to the digital audio signal being input. There are a variety of semiconductor manufacturing techniques capable of producing the feedback resistor in different configurations. One such technique is a silicide block poly resistors which are highly linear over a wide range of inputs. However, manufacturing these types of resistors require additional processing steps that complicates their construction and increases cost. An alternative type of resistor is an n-well resistor that is relatively easier to manufacture but that has some nonlinear properties. For example, the resistance of the n-well resistor varies according to the voltage signal across it.
- The nonlinearities of the digital audio system and its components may vary over time, temperature, or other variables. Additionally, nonlinearities may be introduced during the manufacturing process. There remains a need therefore, for an approach to address the linearity performance of a digital audio system that includes nonlinear resistors in the current-to-voltage converter of an audio DAC.
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to an adaptive digital pre-distortion block that is used to cancel device nonlinearities to improve the overall linearity of a Delta-Sigma DAC system. In particular, the pre-distortion block may be implemented all in digital components and utilize programmable registers that change the pre-distortion transfer function either statically or dynamically, or both.
- It is understood that other embodiments of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, wherein it is shown and described only various embodiments of the invention by way of illustration. As will be realized, the invention is capable of other and different embodiments and its several details are capable of modification in various other respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and detailed description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
- Various aspects of embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 depicts an audio signal processing system in accordance with the principles of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 depicts a pre-distortion block in accordance with the principles of the present invention. - The detailed description set forth below in connection with the appended drawings is intended as a description of various embodiments of the invention and is not intended to represent the only embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the invention.
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to an adaptive digital pre-distortion block that is used to cancel device nonlinearities to improve the overall linearity of a Delta-Sigma DAC system. In particular, the pre-distortion block may be implemented all in digital components and utilize programmable registers that change the pre-distortion transfer function either statically or dynamically, or both. Static changes can be for variation in process corners during production, whereas, dynamic changes can be used to correct nonlinear changes that can occur from environmental reasons such as voltage, temperature, aging and device stress. In the discussion included below, correcting a second-order nonlinearity is described in detail to more clearly illustrate the novel aspects of the present invention. However, higher-order nonlinearities may also be corrected for in a similar manner at the expense of more complex circuitry.
- The signal processing system of
FIG. 1 receives adigital input signal 102 which can be processed by an upsampling andinterpolation block 104. The resulting signal may, for example, be a 16-bit digital signal representing an audio input. However, one of ordinary skill will recognize that the resulting signal may be represented using a different number of bits without departing from the scope of the present invention. In a typical digital analog converter, this resulting signal would be supplied to a sigma-delta modulator and then converted. However, as shown inFIG. 1 , apre-distortion block 106 is used to shape the digital audio signal before it is supplied to the delta-sigma-modulator 108. - As explained in more detail later, the digital-to-analog converter has nonlinearities that are corrected for by the
pre-distortion block 106. In operation, then, the digital audio signal is pre-distorted resulting in adigital signal 107 that is supplied to the sigma-delta modulator 108. The output of themodulator 108 is supplied as input to the digital-to-analog conversion section 110. Within thesection 110, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) 112 produces a output current which is converted into a corresponding voltage signal by theoperational amplifier 114. This voltage signal is supplied as anoutput 116 to a load (not shown). The voltage signal from the amplifier is also coupled back to the amplifier's input through a feedback loop that includes aresistor 115. One exemplary value for theresistor 115 is about 10 kΩ. - In particular, the
resistor 115 can be an n-well resistor. This type of resistor is relatively easy to manufacture during the semiconductor manufacturing process. It does not require complex masking or processing steps and does not require large amounts of space on a chip. However, n-well resistors have a resistance that tends to vary with the voltage signal applied across it. Thus, the n-well resistor contributes to nonlinearities in the operation of the digital toanalog section 110. Other factors such as age, temperature, and other stresses can also contribute to this nonlinear behavior. Another factor that contributes to the nonlinear behavior are the process corners of the manufacturing process when constructing the n-well resistor. - The behavior of the digital to
analog section 110 can be tested or monitored to generate a characterization of its behavior. This characterization data can be supplied to a sensing andsignal processing block 118. This block determines, based on the characterization information, how the digital toanalog section 110 is operating and, in particular, determines the parameters of how non-linear its response is. Thissensing block 118 can be such that a control signal supplied to theDAC 112 and theoutput signal 116 are compared to determine the non-linear characteristics of the digital toanalog section 110. Also, a look up table could be used such that certain sensed parameters are used to determine a value from the table. - This value whether it is from a look up table or generated by a signal processing block is supplied to a
control register 120. The value or values in thecontrol register 120 are used by thepre-distortion block 106 to control how it pre-distorts the digital audio signal. Thus, the digital audio signal is pre-distorted in such a way that when it passes through the digital toanalog section 110, the resultingoutput signal 116 is a linear function of the input digital audio signal. Thecontrol register 120 may have its values set at the time of manufacture and thereby address static nonlinearities such as those caused by the manufacturing process corners. Also, thecontrol register 120 may be dynamically updated during the operation of the system to accommodate dynamic changes such as temperature, aging, and other stresses as they occur. - The shape of the pre-distortion signal is based on the non linear characterization of the digital and
analog section 110. The behavior of thesection 110 can be modeled as a second-order polynomial. However, if higher order nonlinearities are desired to be canceled, higher ordered polynomials may be used to model the behavior. - In other words, the
section 110 may be modeled as VOUT=ax2+bx+c. The goal is to design a pre-distortion function, f(x) that makes VOUT a linear function of the input signal. In operation, the input signal x is supplied to thepre-distortion block 106 where a function f(x)=x′ is applied. The signal x′ is then converted by the digital andanalog section 110 to produceV OUT 116. The goal is for x′ to be such that VOUT=ax′2+bx′+c=bx+c. - Solving for x′ leads to a Taylor series approximation that x′=f(x)=x−(a/b)x2. This approximation is more accurate for smaller values of a but, if desired, the cube term for the approximation can be included as well.
- Applying this pre-distortion function to the system of
FIG. 1 is explained with the help of some predefined variables: - dig_audio—the original digital audio signal which, for 16 bits varies from −215 to 215−1
- dig_pred—the pre-distorted digital audio signal
- dig_coeff—a nonlinearity coefficient that is derived
- 215 constant—this results from dig_audio being centered around 0 in both the x and y axes, whereas, the theoretical equation derived above is based on DAC output currents with a non-zero common mode value.
- Using these terms the pre-distortion function can be written as:
-
dig_pred=dig_audio−dig_coeff×(dig_audio+215) - 2
- Additional definitions include:
- x maxswing—this is a based on the design of the DAC and is the maximum swing of the DAC output current. As an example, the value of 50 μA can be used.
- dig_audio maxswing—the maximum swing of the dig-audio signal. For the 16 bits in this example, the value is 2(16-1).
- Using the equation:
-
[(x′−x)/×maxswing]=[dig_pred−dig_audio]/dig_audio maxswing - the nonlinearity coefficient can be derived as
- dig_coeff=a/b[x maxswing/dig_audio maxswing] wherein
- a and b are the coefficients from the characterization curve described earlier.
- One implementation of a
pre-distortion block 106 is shown inFIG. 2 . Thepre-distortion coefficient 210 is labeled β. In this implementation an input signal x 202 is added 204 to a constant 215 and the resulting sum is squared bymultiplier 212 which is then multiplied 208 by thepre-distortion coefficient β 210. That result is then subtracted 214 to produce theoutput signal 216. Theoutput signal 216 can be written as: -
x′=x−β(x+215)2 - By producing this signal at the output of
pre-distortion block 106, it can be supplied to the digital andanalog section 110 for conversion to an analog signal. The transfer function of thesection 110 is g(y)=ay2+by+c and the result is that when supplied with x′ as its input, the digital andanalog section 110 will produce anoutput signal 116 of (bx+c) which is a linear response to the original digital audio input signal x that was supplied to thepre-distortion block 106. - The previous description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to practice the various embodiments described herein. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments.
