Delta-sigma modulation in single neurons
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we investigate the relationship between the pulse-coded signal representation found in biological neurons and signals represented by first-order delta-sigma bit-streams. We show that a first-order delta-sigma bit-stream is a digital equivalent to a pulse-coded neural signal. By increasing the clock frequency, a delta-sigma bit-stream can approach a pulse-coded representation with arbitrary accuracy.

Performance Scrutiny of Two Control Schemes Based on DSM and HB in Active Power Filter
This paper presents a comparative analysis between two current control strategies, constant source power and generalized Fryze current, used in Active Power Filter (APF) applications having three different modulation methods. The Hysteresis Band (HB) and first-order Delta-Sigma Modulation (DSM) as well as the second-order DSM is applied. The power section of the active power filter is viewed as...
متن کاملEfficient Linearisation of Sigma-Delta Modulators using Single-Bit Dither
Sigma-delta modulation, where a single-bit quantiser is embedded within a negative feedback loop (Fig. 1), is now a commonly-used technique for implementing high-resolution analogue-to-digital and digital-toanalogue converters (DACs), principally because of a favourable insensitivity to component tolerancing [1]. Single-bit quantisation generates relatively high levels of quantisation noise, he...
متن کاملA Multiplierless DC-Blocker for Single-Bit Sigma-Delta Modulated Signals
The DC content in single-bit domain is both undesirable and hard to remove. In this paper we propose a single-bit multiplierless DC-blocker structure. The input is assumed to be sigma-delta modulated bitstream. This DC-blocker is designed using a delta modulator topology with a sigma-delta modulator (SDM) embedded in its feedback path. Its performance is investigated in terms of the overall sig...
متن کاملSelf-Dithered Digital Delta-Sigma Modulators for Fractional-N PLL
Digital delta-sigma modulators (DDSMs) applied in fractional-N frequency synthesizers suffer from spurious tones which undermine the synthesizer’s spectral purity. We propose a solution featuring no hardware overhead while achieving equivalent spur elimination effect as using LFSR-dithering. This method can be implemented on MASH and single-loop DDSMs of 3rdand 2nd-order. key words: Digital del...
متن کاملA Parallel Digital Architecture for Delta-sigma Modulation
A major drawback of delta-sigma modulation is the high oversampling ratios required, especially for single-bit quantization. Accordingly, much of the research in the area has focused on lowering the sampling rate through various parallelization approaches. However, this research has been overwhelmingly concentrated on continuous and discrete-time analog modulator implementations for A/D convert...
