Hybrid Stochastic Divider-Based Delta-Sigma Data Convertor Using Linearity Enhancement of Multi-channel ADC with Robust Control Mechanism
摘要
Delta-sigma data converters oversample the input signal and perform noise shaping to produce a high-resolution digital output. Many existing methods implement a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (CTDSM) for multi-channel ADCs, but these systems often suffer from flaws such as inadequate state resetting, which leads to inter-channel crosstalk and linearity issues. To overcome these limitations, a novel Hybrid Stochastic Divider Delta-Sigma Modulator is proposed to enhance multi-channel ADC performance. This approach integrates a Hysteresis Split Source Comparison Quantizer and a Distributed Stochastic Quantized Neural Network to automatically reset states, effectively reducing crosstalk across channels and eliminating linearity issues using Linear Ensemble Half-band Filtering. Furthermore, existing CTDSM control mechanisms struggle with poor performance due to threshold-based methods, resulting in quantization errors, slope overload distortion, and high latency. To address these challenges, a Robust Feedback Compression Controller is introduced, optimizing multi-ADC operation by mitigating high latency through a Tunable Column Bit Compression mechanism. Additionally, a Scalable Extrapolation GAN Controller is employed to predict and correct quantization errors, improving speed and efficiency.
