TITLE:
Joint Shaping of Quantization and Hardware-Mismatch Errors in a Multibit Delta-Sigma DAC

ABSTRACT:
A recent sigma-delta modulator architecture incorporates spectral shaping of hardware-mismatch errors through redundancy introduced by embedding the input/output subspace in a higher-dimensional space for loop operation. Here basic design issues for the key vector quantizer and matrix-impulse-response loop filter are explored. A simple design example and simulation illustrate.

ERRATA:
The alpha = 0.5 labels in figure 3 are incorrect. Actually alpha = 2/3 was used, as indicated in the text.
