Further Properties of I-DS ADC
摘要
In the previous chapter, we have derived the theory and operation principle of I-DS ADCs. They were described in the time domain, which allowed us to derive the matched reconstruction filters. Then, the concept of the overall STF and NTF were derived to describe the incremental behavior in the frequency domain, which also allowed to accurately predict their SQNR. Finally, various reconstruction filters and their influence on SQNR performance were discussed, and the possibilities to derive loop-filter scaling by reusing free-running prototypes or by combined optimization of I-DSM and selected reconstruction filters were shown. In this chapter, we discuss further properties of I-DS ADCs. Firstly, topology choices for the I-DSM loop filter are discussed together with their influence on the incremental operation. Thereafter, we summarize loop-filter nonidealities, firstly those which show the same or similar behavior as free-running DSMs, and secondly, those which are utmost different.
