ABSTRACT:
The one-bit sigma-delta modulator with improved signal stability disclosed herein includes, in order, a first anti-aliasing filter (20), a chopper (22), a second anti-aliasing filter (30), and a one-bit modulator (32). The chopper (22) and one-bit modulator (32) are driven by a clock generator (38). The chopper (22) is introduced to provide a carrier upon which the signal may ride, thereby eliminating dc stability problems. The first anti-aliasing filter (20) eliminates aliasing from the chopper (22), and the second anti-aliasing filter (30) eliminates aliasing from the one-bit modulator (32). The second anti-aliasing filter (30) may be eliminated if the frequency of the chopper (22) is an exact integer submultiple of the sampling frequency of the one-bit modulator (32). This invention may drive a decimation filter (36), also driven by the clock generator (38), to provide a low cost analog-to-digital converter.
