ABSTRACT:
A delta sigma modulator which employs a plurality of accumulators with non-power-of-2 modulus. The accumulators may consist of a primary non-power-of-2 modulus accumulator and a secondary non-power-of-2 modulus accumulator. The number of bits in the primary accumulators affects the frequency resolution of the resultant delta sigma fractional N frequency synthesizer and can be the minimum number of bits required by the resolution specification. The secondary accumulator integrates the carry outputs of its corresponding primary accumulators. This integration results in attenuating the dc content of the modulator output by a factor equal to the modulus of the secondary accumulators and may require compensation in the recombination block.
