Oversampling ADC and DAC
- Every oversampling factor of 4 yields 1 extra bit, because then 1 / 4 of the
quantisation power remains in the low pass band, and factor 4 in power is
factor 2 in voltage level.
- The higher sampling rate relaxes the analogue LPF by using the extra BW of
3 / 4 fs / 2 as transition band. A digital LPF then filters the wanted 1 / 4
fs / 2 low pass band and thus also removes the quantisation noise in the
stop band, which yields the extra bit.
Noise shaping
- Noise shaping is based on quantisation error feedback. At low frequencies
the feedback error is still related to the input, so the feedback will
compensate the error for lower frequencies, but worsen it for higher
frequencies. An LPF filters the higher frequencies and thus increases the
effective number of bits of the low pass output, by about 1 bit for first
order feedback.
- ADC: [NOISESHAPING Brown]
For an ADC noise shaping requires feedback in the analogue domain, because
after quantization the error information is only available when comparing
the digitized input with the analogue input. Noise shaping of digital input
is not possible (e.g. 8b input using LSBit feedback from 24b LPF output),
because the digital input has fixed resolution and therefore the feedback
error can not contain more accurate information about the (analogue) input.
Therefore LPF in the digital domain are never combined with noise shaping.
The analogue feedback of the quantized value uses a DAC and tracks the
analogue input signal. With a 1 bit DAC it becomes a sigma-delta ADC. The
feedback signal jumps between too high or too low, which thus contains the
more detailed accuracy on the analogue input signal level that leads to the
extra bits for oversampling.
- DAC: [NOISESHAPING TUE]
For a DAC noise shaping uses feedback in the digital domain. The round
off LSbits of the LPF output are fed back to the input, so that the noise
power is shaped towards higher frequencies. This noise power at higher
frequences will be filtered by the analoge LPF that filters the DAC
output.
