NOISE SHAPED INTERPOLATOR AND DECIMATOR APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

Improved interpolator (1304) and decimator (1324) apparatus and methods, including the addition of an elastic storage element (192) comprises a FIFO which advantageously allows short term variation in sample clocks to be absorbed, and also provides a feedback mechanism for controlling a delta-sigma modulated modulo-N counter based sample clock generator. The elastic element combined with a delta-sigma modulator and counter creates a noise-shaped frequency lock loop without additional components, resulting in a much simplified imterpolator and decimator.
