Continuous time deltasigma modulator system with automatic timing adjustment

摘要

A continuous time DeltaSigma modulation system with automatic timing adjustment includes a loop filter having continuous time elements for receiving an input; and an ADC for sampling the output from the loop filter in response to an ADC clock; a DAC responsive to the output from the ADC for feeding back an input to the loop filter in response to a DAC clock; a timing measurement circuit for detecting a difference in the timing of the ADC sampling time and the DAC update time and a timing adjustment circuit responsive to the timing measurement circuit for adjusting the timing of at least one of the DAC and ADC clocks for aligning their respective update and sampling times.
