✦ Synopsis


Power digital-to-analogue (D-A) converters have applications in digital audio, portable equipment and industrial control systems. This paper discusses the use of sigma-delta modulation as the primary processing block in power D-A systems. The focus is on the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of the one-bit output and its suitability for power switching. It is shown that in order to preserve high power e ciency and tolerance to a non-ideal output stage, the PRF of the output may be reduced and made constant by the use of a technique termed bit ipping. The performance of di erent bit ipping algorithms is discussed which aim to regulate the PRF whilst maintaining the stability of the modulation process. Results are presented which compare the performance of the di erent systems under the conditions of an ideal and a non-ideal output stage. ?

This paper uses a CAD methodology proposed by the authors to design a low-power second-order M. This modulator has been fabricated in a 0•7 m CMOS technology to be used as the front-end of an energy-metering mixed-signal ASIC and features 16•4 bit at a digital output rate of 9•6 kHz with a power con
