The adaptive corrections significantly reduce the sensitivity to analog imperfections in the MASH-like /spl utri//spl Sigma/ frequency-to-digital modulator (/spl utri//spl Sigma/FDM), and makes it possible to implement the circuit in standard digital CMOS without loosing performance. The result is a simple second order delta-sigma modulator with high precision. Simulations of the circuit with errors and corrections are included to confirm the theory.","PeriodicalId":141392,"journal":{"name":"ICECS 2001. 8th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

This technique is based on parallel processing. What is done by only one clock operating at the baud rate can be done by two clocks operating only at half rate. By generalizing we propose versions of clock recovery circuits operating at the ratio 1/2/sup n/ of the data rate. Thus we obtain circuits transmitting at very high data rate but operating at very low frequency. The proposed circuits which are transition sensitive (digital) are compared with the traditional level sensitive (analog).","PeriodicalId":141392,"journal":{"name":"ICECS 2001. 8th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

In addition, the Radix-2 algorithm shows almost similar features when compared with similar architectures available in the literature. Furthermore, the radix-4 algorithm can be used to develop higher radix algorithms since it only requires the use of powers of two of the modulus.","PeriodicalId":141392,"journal":{"name":"ICECS 2001. 8th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (Cat.
