20110133964 | OVERSAMPLING A/D CONVERTER - An oversampling A/D converter includes a first filter including a first resistive element, a first capacitive element, a second resistive element, an operational amplifier, and a second capacitive element; a second filter receiving an output of the first filter; a third filter including a third resistive element, a third capacitive element, and a fourth resistive element; a quantizer receiving an output of the third filter and generating a digital signal; and a D/A converter converting the digital signal to an analog current signal. The D/A converter inputs the generated analog current signal to an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier. | 06-09-2011 |
20110200077 | DELTA-SIGMA MODULATOR AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE - In a DSM including a loop in which an output signal of a quantizer is digitally processed, and fed back through a DAC to an analog filter, the quantizer quantizes an analog signal from an analog filter section to output a digital signal. The digital signal from the quantizer is digitally processed in a first-order recursive filter circuit including a variable gain amplifier and a delay element. A LUT receives both the digital signal from the quantizer and a table control signal, which is an output signal from the recursive filter circuit, and stores in advance compensation values corresponding to the both signals. A compensation value from the LUT is used to provide a digital output signal compensated for a delay. The digital output signal is converted into an analog signal in the DAC, and then subtracted from an analog input signal in the analog filter section. | 08-18-2011 |
20120262320 | RESONATOR, DELTA-SIGMA MODULATOR, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Two T filters, one of which includes two resistive elements and one capacitive element and the other of which includes two capacitive elements and one resistive element, are inserted in a negative-feedback section of an operational amplifier, and a resistive element and a capacitive element are connected between each of intermediate nodes and a signal input terminal.
