FPGA-Driven DAC with Second Order Sliding Mode Control of Filter Model for Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulators

TL;DR: A new bitstream DAC architecture based on the sliding mode control of the output analogue filter model is introduced, optimized mainly to reproduce current transducer signals in power electronics (usually triangle waves), which can be done more accurately than traditional $\Sigma-\Delta$ solutions.

Design and Simulation of a High-Order Sigma-Delta Continuous-Time Modulator

TL;DR: The design and simulation results show that the target specification can be achieved by configuring the oversampling ratio and the digital filter according to the measurement bandwidth.

Interpolating by a factor of 3 in low-voltage low-power ΣΔ DAC

TL;DR: The power optimization of a sigma-delta (ΣΔ) modulator based digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for hearing aid audio back-end application is presented and the figure-of-merit of such designs can be lower than designs using oversampling by a factor of integer powers of two.

A higher order topology for interpolative modulators for oversampling A/D converters

TL;DR: Higher order modulators are shown not only to greatly reduce oversampling requirements for high-resolution conversion applications, but also to randomize the quantization noise, avoiding the need for dithering.

Decimation for Sigma Delta Modulation

TL;DR: It is shown that digital filters comprising cascades of integrate-and-dump functions can match the structure of the noise from sigma delta modulation to provide decimation with negligible loss of signal-to-noise ratio.

An analysis of nonlinear behavior in delta - sigma modulators

TL;DR: This paper introduces a new method of analysis for deltasigma modulators based on modeling the nonlinear quantizer with a linearized gain, obtained by minimizing a mean-square-error criterion, followed by an additive noise source representing distortion components.

The Structure of Quantization Noise from Sigma-Delta Modulation

TL;DR: Simple algebraic expressions for this modulation noise and its spectrum in terms of the input amplitude are derived and can be useful for designing oversampled analog to digital converters that use sigma-delta modulation for the primary conversion.

A fourth-order bandpass sigma-delta modulator

TL;DR: The modulator of a bandpass analog/digital (A/D) converter, with 63 dB signal/noise for broadcast AM bandwidth signals centered at 455 kHz, has been implemented by modifying a commercial digital-audio sigma-delta ( Sigma Delta ) converter.
