Description

1275251 玖、發明說明·· 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於一種具有諧波抑制功能之聲頻數位-類 比轉換器。 【先前技術】 數位-類比轉換器(DAC)係時下聲頻電路之基本架構, 在許多產品之成本及操作上構成很大衝擊。雖然在某些應 用上可製得價廉之低級數位-類比轉換器(l〇w end DAC), 但此等價廉之DAC具有雜訊誤差(noise errors)之缺失。 尤其會在偶奇諧波(even and odd harmonics)中產生誤 差,導致聲頻輸出品質之低劣。雖然可製出高品質之DAC 來解消這些誤差,但目前之高級DAC構造複雜,價格高昂。 因此,亟需要一種比目前之DAC具有少誤差且又價廉 之改良聲頻DAC。由以下之說明可知,本發明已巧適的解 決上述先前技術之缺失。 【發明内容】 本發明提供一種比目前之價廉的DAC且又比高級DAC 便宜之具有較少誤差之改良聲頻DAC。即,本發明提供一 種運用數位信號處理校正(更正)產生於低級DAC中之誤 差的系統及方法。該數位信號處理提供,種可實質的消除 DAC輸出誤差之偶奇諧波的方法。因此,運用此數位處理 技術可改進構造較不複雜及價廉之低级(low end)DAC的操 作性能。結果可以廉價(包括聲頻晶片上電路之佈局及大 小)提供具有一如高級(high end)DAC之高品質DAC。以下 1275251 之說明包括本發明之實施例。但本發明之範圍不侷限於所 提示之實施例,而應由所附之專利申請範圍及其等效物來 界定。 消除系統之誤差之偶(數)諧波(even harmonics)的方 法為習知,以往俗稱為"auto zero”。此習知之方法之一為 使用截波(chop wave)。在頻率領域(即頻域)中,以往之 偶諧波抑制被認為可把信號誤差之偶諧波移動包圍截波頻 率(chopping frequency)。第1圖為習知DAC之構造簡圖。 圖中DAC輸出,Vout,係Vlo及Vhi之間之電壓,它是與 輸入碼Din成比例。此種習知之DAC可具二次或較高次之 諧波且可精確到少至9或10位元之譜。 【實施方式】 依本發明,使用第2圖所示之改良電路時,可消除偶 諧波。其DAC可輸出VI及V2(DAC之高及低信號界線)之間 之輸出電壓Vont。該VI及V2係分別由開關Swl及Sw2 導出。該等開關係根據截波信號(chop signal)振盪,由Vhi 反向轉換至Vlo。然後經由乘法器Ml,將Din乘以負1( 一 1 )之乘值輸入至DAC中。 在此電路中,一如第1圖之習知電路,DAC產生一介 於Vlo及Vhi之輸出。但,本發明之改良電路可將Vlo及 Vhi之任務(role)反轉。若是其任務被反轉,與此同時,輸 入至DAC之值被負化(negated),或乘以負1( — 1),偶數譜 波或稱偶諧波即被移動至頻帶(band)外。此截波輸入信號 (chop input signal)在頻率 256Fs 或約 lOMhz 運作(runs),該 等偶諧波可完全被移除至Fs/2頻帶之外。 1275251 正當(?)= 當該額外信號移動DAC進::J 誤差。隨後, (-))則輸出信號將且c性區内(此區誤差為負 :合、士匕饭疋為事實’則上述方式為不可行’蓋因該誤差 ^會被交#地轉換為正(+)及負(-)。但,此不致於發 口為截波L號,縱使諧波抑制法已去除不改變正負號 之任何誤差信號,仍係DAC特性上之一偶諧信號。因此: ,術之組合,即截波器及頻帶外之額外信號可一起抑制偶 奇諧波。 上面已就以廉價(包括聲頻晶片上電路之佈局及大小) 提供具有一如高級DAC之高品質DAC加以說明。此說明包 括本發明之可取實施例。但,本發明之範圍不受所舉實施 例之限制,應依所附申請專利範圍及其等效物界定。
