Definitions
- Apparatus and methods described in this document relate to electronic circuit designs. More specifically, the apparatus and methods relate to chopper-stabilized analog-to-digital converters and sigma-delta modulators.
- Sigma-delta modulators and other types of analog-to-digital converters are widely used in communication systems and in many other applications.
- such devices may be used to convert an intermediate frequency (IF) signal to a baseband frequency signal, in order to meet dynamic range requirements for digital signal processing, and to provide improved adaptability and programmability to receiver circuitry.
- IF intermediate frequency
- the advantages of sigma-delta modulators include high dynamic range, which is often needed to distinguish a small desired signal from blockers and interferers.
- Sigma-delta modulators shape the quantization noise out-of-band, and allow combining decimation filtering with selective digital filtering and IF mixing to attenuate both the quantization noise and neighboring blockers.
- the ability to select different sampling rates in the sigma-delta modulator architecture allows a single device to be adapted to different requirements, for example, the requirements imposed by multiple RF standards.
- the use of higher sampling rates and complex digital signal processing allow sigma-delta converters to exhibit relatively low sensitivity to interfering analog signals.
- One-over-f (1/f) noise is one type of noise at the output of a typical converter
- Chopping is typically done in the middle of the clock phase of the sampling clock of the converter. It takes some time for things to settle down after switching, and if settling time is long compared to the sampling clock period, settling problems may lead to settling distortion. The upper limit on the settling time is thus imposed by the sampling frequency, which is a function of oversampling ratio. Because higher oversampling ratios improve overall system signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), oversampling ratio is a system requirement and is preferably maintained at a relatively high number. Settling time may also be improved by certain design techniques, but such techniques are generally costly from power consumption perspective.
- SNR system signal-to-noise ratio
- Embodiments disclosed herein may address one or more of the above stated needs by providing chopper-stabilized converters wherein chopping is performed at specific time and/or in accordance with specific clock transition sequences.

- the words “embodiment,” “variant,” and similar expressions are used to refer to particular apparatus, process, or article of manufacture, and not necessarily to the same apparatus, process, or article of manufacture.
- “one embodiment” (or a similar expression) used in one place or context may refer to a particular apparatus, process, or article of manufacture; the same or a similar expression in a different place may refer to a different apparatus, process, or article of manufacture.
- the expression “alternative embodiment” and similar phrases may be used to indicate one of a number of different possible embodiments. The number of possible embodiments is not necessarily limited to two or any other quantity.
- buffer and “amplifier” are used interchangeably, each encompassing the functions of amplification, attenuation, buffering, buffering with amplification, and buffering with attenuation.
- Buffers and amplifiers can be configured to function (process signals) in analog or digital domain, depending on the specific type of the signal involved.
- Figure 1 illustrates selected blocks of an exemplary sigma-delta modulator 100.
- the sigma-delta modulator 100 includes an input buffer/amplifier 105, a summer 110, an integrator 115, an intermediate amplifier 120, another integrator 125, another summer 130, a feedforward amplifier 135, a quantizer 140, and a feedback digital-to- analog converter 145. These blocks are arranged as illustrated in Figure 1, in this embodiment.
- Selected or all of the analog blocks of the sigma-delta modulator 100 may be implemented using switched capacitor circuits.
- switched capacitor circuit designs charge is moved between different capacitors by switches opened and closed using different clock phases. Typically, the clock phases are non-overlapping, so that some switches are on while others are off, and vice versa.
- the quantizer 140 may be a single-bit quantizer such as a comparator, or it may be a multi-bit quantizer. In an exemplary variant, the quantizer 140 is a two-bit quantizer. Longer bit-lengths are also possible. As is typical, the bit-length (resolution of the quantizer) is lower than resolution of the output of the sigma-delta modulator 100.
- FIG. 2 is an expanded view of selected components of a differential variant of the sigma-delta modulator 100.
- V in p and V 1n N stand for positive and negative differential input voltages
- ⁇ 2P and ⁇ 2N are signals indicating results of the previous quantization comparison performed by the quantizer 140.
- one of the two signals ⁇ 2P and ⁇ 2N under control of the output signal of the quantizer, is active when ⁇ 2 is active.
- Switches Sq) 1 are turned on (closed) by one phase of the switching or sampling clock being active, the two phases being non- overlapping.
- the switches S ⁇ 2 are turned on by the second phase of the switching or sampling clock being active.
- V ref p and V ref N define the range of valid inputs to the sigma-delta modulator 100, while V re fmid is the reference voltage in the middle of the range defined by V ref p and V ref N- Note that in variants the sampling and integration phases may be reversed.
- Capacitors C ff are feed forward capacitors in the path defined by the amplifier
- the capacitors Cai and C&2 are feedback capacitors for the integrators 115 and 125.
- the capacitors C 1111 and C in2 form parts of the summers 110 and 130, respectively.
- the capacitors C DA C may be considered to be a part of the summer 110, the integrator 115, and/or the feedback DAC 145.
- the capacitors C q ua n t are essentially sample-and-hold capacitors at the inputs to the quantizer 140.
- the devices 115a and 125a are active devices of the integrators 115 and 125, respectively. Note that in this embodiment each of these active devices also implements one of the summers; thus the device 115a is part of the integrator 115 and the summer 110, while the device 125a is part of the integrator 125 and the summer 130. As will be discussed in more detail below, at least one of these devices is configured with chopper stabilization where chopper stabilization is performed in a particular way described below. Because the first integrator (built around the device 115a, nearest the input of the sigma-delta modulator 100) contributes the bulk of the 1/f noise, in some embodiments only the active device of the first integrator employs chopper stabilization as described in this document.
- block 180 in Figure 2 is a clock generator configured to generate the phases ⁇ l and ⁇ 2 of the sampling clock, as well as phases Tl and T2 of the chopping clock described in more detail below.
- the delay or phase difference between ⁇ l and ⁇ 2 is asynchronous, as is the delay between the phases Tl and T2.
- ⁇ l and ⁇ 2 are different phases of the same sampling clock, and therefore operate at the same frequency.
- Tl and T2 are phases of the same chopping clock, and operate at the same frequency.
- the chopping clock frequency is the sampling frequency divided down by an integer, in this embodiment. In variants, the divide by number is programmable, and may be equal to two or any other integer greater than one.
- Figure 3 is an expanded view of selected components of a combination 300 of the active device 115a (within dashed lines) and the capacitors Cai, which uses chopper stabilization as described below. Note that the same principles may be applied to other active devices in other summers/integrators of the sigma-delta modulator, for example, to the active device 125a.
- the non-inverting input 305 corresponds to the positive input (+) of the active device 115a (as shown in Figure 2)
- the inverting input 310 corresponds to the negative (-) input of the device 115a
- the negative output 315 corresponds to the negative output of the device 115a
- the positive output 320 corresponds to the positive output of the device 115a.
- the active device 115a includes an operational amplifier or a similar differential device 350 (i.e., a device with high input impedances, low output impedances, and high gain).
- the inputs to the opamp 350 are connected to the inputs of the active device 115a through a set of four switches; similarly, the outputs of the opamp 350 are connected to the outputs of the active device 115a through another set of four switches.
- the switches S ⁇ i are turned on when a phase Tl of a chopping clock is active, and the switches S ⁇ 2 are turned on when another phase T2 of the chopping clock is active.
- the non-overlapping period of two phases of the clock may be divided substantially equally on each side of the active period of the clock (or of each phase of the clock). For example, there may be a five percent non-overlapping period in front of the rising edge and following the falling edge of an active high clock.
- the phases Tl and T2 are non-overlapping, as are the two phases ⁇ l and ⁇ 2 of the sampling clock.
- the duty cycles of the non- overlapping clocks may be somewhat below fifty percent, for example forty percent or some other value between forty and fifty percent.
- the chopping clock may be derived from the sampling clock, for example, it can be generated by an oscillator phase-locked to the sampling clock, or by another frequency divider circuit.
- the chopping clock frequency is equal to the sampling clock frequency divided by a whole integer.
- the frequency of the chopping clock is half that of the sampling clock, allowing for the highest chopping frequency for a given sampling frequency.
- the two integrators 115 and 125 sample their input signals during the active period of the sampling clock phase ⁇ l.
- ⁇ 2 the other phase of the sampling clock
- these samples are integrated.
- the integrated samples are available at the output of the respective integrators.
- the second integrator 125 samples the output signal of the first integrator.
- the chopping phase of the first integrator can change without affecting the sample that the second integrator has taken. A good time to toggle the chopping clock phases is therefore following the active period of ⁇ l.
- the phases Tl and T2 of the chopping clock may be toggled in the active phase of ⁇ 2.
- the chopping clock phases Tl and T2 are toggled in the non- overlapping interval between ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2, as is shown in Figure 4.
- the chopping clock is half the frequency of the sampling clock. In other embodiments, chopping is performed at lower frequencies. Note again that in variants the sampling and integration phases ( ⁇ l and ⁇ 2) may be reversed.
- sampling and chopping clocks may be synchronized, the timing of one of the phases of each of these clocks is typically asynchronous. This is so because the delay of a fraction of the period of the sampling clock is typically introduced through one or more gates or a transmission line; the delay is thus not clock- dependent.
- Figure 4 illustrates a typical sequence 400 of timing phases in an embodiment where the chopping clock (phases Tl and T2) operates at one-half frequency of the sampling clock (phases ⁇ l and ⁇ 2).
- Figure 5 illustrates selected steps of a method 500 performed by the asynchronous state machine in the process of changing the four phases of the two clocks (sampling and chopping).
- the state machine may be part of the clock generator 180 of Figure 2.
- sampling and chopping clock generator is operational.
- a first falling edge (leftmost) of the first sampling phase ⁇ l is generated, whereby the first sampling phase becomes inactive.
- This transition causes (after a small and typically asynchronous delay) a falling edge in the second chopping phase T2, whereby the second chopping clock becomes inactive.
- the causation is indicated by an arrow 405, and corresponds to step 520.
- the falling edge of T2 causes (after a small and typically asynchronous delay) a rising edge of the first chopping clock phase Tl, transitioning the phase Tl to the active state. This transition causation is indicated by an arrow 410.
- the rising edge of Tl causes (after a small and typically asynchronous delay) a rising edge in the second sampling clock phase ⁇ 2, transitioning ⁇ 2 to the active state.
- This transition causation is indicated by a dashed arrow 415.
- the arrow is dashed because the causation or relationship may be omitted in some embodiments.
- a second falling edge of ⁇ l is generated.
- the second edge discussed here belongs to the next ⁇ l pulse, i.e., the pulse immediately following the pulse of the first falling edge of ⁇ l discussed above.
- the second falling edge of ⁇ l causes (after a small and typically asynchronous delay) a falling edge of Tl. This causation is indicated by an arrow 420. Note that the falling and rising edges of Tl discussed in relation to Figure 4 belong to the same pulse of Tl.
- the falling edge of Tl causes (after a small and typically asynchronous delay) a rising edge of T2.
- this rising edge of T2 belongs to the pulse of T2 that immediately follows the T2 pulse that contained the falling edge of T2 discussed above.
- the causation of the rising edge of T2 by the falling edge of T 1 is indicated with an arrow 425.
- the rising edge of T2 causes (after a small and typically asynchronous delay) a second rising edge of ⁇ 2.
- This second rising edge of ⁇ 2 belongs to the pulse of ⁇ 2 that immediately follows the pulse of which the first rising edge of ⁇ 2 (discussed above) was a part.
- the causation of the second rising edge of ⁇ 2 by the rising edge of T2 is indicated with a dashed arrow 430.
- the arrow is dashed because the causation or relationship may be omitted in some embodiments.
- the rising edge of T2 may, in some embodiments, occur at the same time or even later than the second rising edge of ⁇ 2.
- the process 500 then terminates at a flow point 599. It should be understood that in normal operation the steps of the process continue to be repeated during the generation of the clocks and operation of the converter in which the clocks operate.
- steps and decisions of various methods may be described serially in this disclosure, some of these steps and decisions may be performed by separate elements in conjunction or in parallel, asynchronous Iy or synchronously, in a pipelined manner, or otherwise. There is no particular requirement that the steps and decisions be performed in the same order in which this description lists them, except where explicitly so indicated, otherwise made clear from the context, or inherently required. It should be noted, however, that in selected variants the steps and decisions are performed in the particular sequences described and/or shown in the accompanying Figures. Furthermore, not every illustrated step and decision may be required in every embodiment or variant, while some steps and decisions that have not been specifically illustrated may be desirable in some embodiments/variants.
