In order to reduce mismatch error of a DAC used in a multibit delta-sigma some dynamic element matching (DEM) algorithms have been proposed before, from which Data-Weighted-Averaging (DWA) method is more hardware efficient and widely used. Unfortunately, DWA technique loses its functionalities for periodic signals which cannot be practically avoided. Many improvements have been suggested to minimize in band tone generated by DWA algorithm, but they cause limited performance compared with an ideal first order DEM. This paper presents a new modified DWA structure, which results in a completely first order mismatch noise shaping while solving in band tone problem. Simulations are presented for a 3rd-order lowpass delta sigma. However, its modified version can also be used in bandpass applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
