166-400: A digital filter to demodulate it to a high-bit digital output at a lower sampling-frequency. A delta-sigma DAC (e.g. Figure 1 bottom) encodes a high-resolution digital input signal into a lower-resolution but higher sample-frequency signal that may then be mapped to voltages and smoothed with an analog filter for demodulation. In both cases, the temporary use of a low bit depth signal at

249-620: A negative feedback loop during quantization to the lower bit depth that continuously corrects quantization errors and moves quantization noise to higher frequencies well above the original signal's bandwidth . Subsequent low-pass filtering for demodulation easily removes this high frequency noise and time averages to achieve high accuracy in amplitude which can be ultimately encoded as pulse-code modulation (PCM). Both ADCs and DACs can employ delta-sigma modulation. A delta-sigma ADC (e.g. Figure 1 top) encodes an analog signal using high-frequency delta-sigma modulation and then applies

498-457: A decrease in a disturbance or the amplitude of an oscillation. The term " feedback " was well established by the 1920s, in reference to a means of boosting the gain of an electronic amplifier. Friis and Jensen described this action as "positive feedback" and made passing mention of a contrasting "negative feed-back action" in 1924. Harold Stephen Black came up with the idea of using negative feedback in electronic amplifiers in 1927, submitted

581-441: A delta modulator, so that the output carries information corresponding to the amplitude of the input signal instead of just its derivative. This also has the benefit of incorporating desirable noise shaping into the conversion process, to deliberately move quantization noise to frequencies higher than the signal. Since the accumulated error signal is lowpass filtered by the delta-sigma modulator's integrator before being quantized,

664-428: A delta-sigma ADC is occasionally used directly in signal processing or as a representation for signal storage (e.g., Super Audio CD stores the raw output of a 1-bit delta-sigma modulator). While this article focuses on synchronous modulation, which requires a precise clock for quantization, asynchronous delta-sigma modulation instead runs without a clock. When transmitting an analog signal directly, all noise in

Wooley's "The Evolution of Oversampling Analog-to-Digital Converters" gives more history and references to relevant patents. Some avenues of variation (which may be applied in different combinations) are the modulator's order, the quantizer's bitdepth, the manner of decimation , and the oversampling ratio. Noise of

830-431: A finite input impedance and a non-zero output impedance. Although practical op-amps are not ideal, the model of an ideal op-amp often suffices to understand circuit operation at low enough frequencies. As discussed in the previous section, the feedback circuit stabilizes the closed-loop gain and desensitizes the output to fluctuations generated inside the amplifier itself. An example of the use of negative feedback control

913-487: A function of time corresponds to simply multiplication by 1 s {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{\text{s}}}} in Laplace notation. The integrator is assumed to be an ideal integrator to keep the math simple, but a real integrator (or similar filter) may have a more complicated expression. The process of quantization is approximated as addition with a quantization error noise source. The noise

996-426: A higher sampling frequency simplifies circuit design and takes advantage of the efficiency and high accuracy in time of digital electronics . Primarily because of its cost efficiency and reduced circuit complexity, this technique has found increasing use in modern electronic components such as DACs, ADCs, frequency synthesizers , switched-mode power supplies and motor controllers . The coarsely-quantized output of

1079-439: A known fixed rate, is very easy to generate, transmit, and accurately regenerate at the receiver, given only that the timing and sign of the pulses can be recovered. Given such a sequence of pulses from a delta-sigma modulator, the original waveform can be reconstructed with adequate precision. The use of PDM as a signal representation is an alternative to PCM. Alternatively, the high frequency PDM can later be downsampled through

1162-459: A large 'improvement factor' (or a large loop gain β A ) tends to keep this error signal small. Although the diagram illustrates the principles of the negative feedback amplifier, modeling a real amplifier as a unilateral forward amplification block and a unilateral feedback block has significant limitations. For methods of analysis that do not make these idealizations, see the article Negative feedback amplifier . The operational amplifier

1328-407: A more complex processing of the error signal. In this framework, the physical form of a signal may undergo multiple transformations. For example, a change in weather may cause a disturbance to the heat input to a house (as an example of the system T ) that is monitored by a thermometer as a change in temperature (as an example of an 'essential variable' E ). This quantity, then, is converted by

1411-548: A much wider frequency range. The benefit is that the total amount of noise in the frequency band of interest is dramatically smaller for oversampling converters (just the small green area), than for a Nyquist converter (yellow + green total area). Figure 4 shows how ΔΣ modulation shapes noise to further reduce the amount of quantization noise in the baseband in exchange for increasing noise at higher frequencies (where it can be easily filtered out). The curves of higher-order ΔΣ modulators achieve even greater reduction of noise in

1494-446: A multi-bit digital signal . Such higher-bit methods seek accuracy in amplitude directly, but require extremely precise components and so may suffer from poor linearity. Oversampling converters instead produce a lower-bitdepth result at a much higher sampling frequency. This can achieve comparable quality by taking advantage of: Another key aspect given by oversampling is the frequency/resolution tradeoff. The decimation filter put after

1577-444: A negative feedback loop. In this way, negative feedback loops in the environment have a stabilizing effect. Negative feedback as a control technique may be seen in the refinements of the water clock introduced by Ktesibios of Alexandria in the 3rd century BCE. Self-regulating mechanisms have existed since antiquity, and were used to maintain a constant level in the reservoirs of water clocks as early as 200 BCE. Negative feedback

1660-439: A patent application in 1928, and detailed its use in his paper of 1934, where he defined negative feedback as a type of coupling that reduced the gain of the amplifier, in the process greatly increasing its stability and bandwidth. Karl Küpfmüller published papers on a negative-feedback-based automatic gain control system and a feedback system stability criterion in 1928. Nyquist and Bode built on Black's work to develop

In design, the type of feedback and amount of feedback are carefully selected to weigh and optimize these various benefits.

Negative feedback loops in which just the right amount of correction is applied with optimum timing, can be very stable, accurate, and responsive.

1992-914: A single pole at s = -1 {\displaystyle {\text{s}}={\text{-1}}} in the complex plane , so it effectively acts as a 1 -order low-pass filter on the input signal. (Note: its cutoff frequency could be adjusted as desired by including multiplication by a constant in the loop). To understand how the system affects the noise only, the input instead is temporarily imagined to be 0: [ 0 − Δ Σ M noise ( s ) ] ⋅ 1 s + noise ( s ) = Δ Σ M noise ( s ) , {\displaystyle [0-\Delta \Sigma {\text{M}}_{\text{noise}}({\text{s}})]\cdot {\frac {1}{\text{s}}}+{\text{noise}}({\text{s}})=\Delta \Sigma {\text{M}}_{\text{noise}}({\text{s}})\,,} which can be rearranged to yield

2075-442: A single zero at s = 0 {\displaystyle {\text{s}}=0} and a single pole at s = -1 , {\displaystyle {\text{s}}={\text{-1}},} so the system effectively acts as a high-pass filter on the noise that starts at 0 at DC , then gradually rises until it reaches the cutoff frequency, and then levels off. The synchronous ΔΣ DAC's modulation loop (Figure 6) meanwhile

2158-426: A value: where the approximate value assumes β A >> 1. This expression shows that a gain greater than one requires β < 1. Because the approximate gain 1/β is independent of the open-loop gain A , the feedback is said to 'desensitize' the closed-loop gain to variations in A (for example, due to manufacturing variations between units, or temperature effects upon components), provided only that

2241-404: Is an earlier related low-bit oversampling method that also uses negative feedback , but only encodes the derivative of the signal (its delta ) rather than its amplitude . The result is a stream of marks and spaces representing up or down of the signal's movement, which must be integrated to reconstruct the signal's amplitude. Delta modulation has several drawbacks. The differentiation alters

Delta-sigma modulation achieves high quality by utilizing

2407-459: Is in discrete-time and so its analysis is in the z-domain. It is very similar to the above analysis in Laplace domain and produces similar curves. Note: many sources also analyze a ΔΣ ADC's modulation loop in the z-domain, which implicitly treats the continuous analog input as a discrete-time signal. This may be a valid approximation provided that the input signal is already bandlimited and can be assumed to be not changing on time scales higher than

Negative feedback The opposite tendency — called positive feedback —

2573-839: Is often assumed to be white and independent of the signal, though as quantization (signal processing) § Additive noise model explains that is not always a valid assumption (particularly for low-bit quantization). Since the system and Laplace transform are linear, the total behavior of this system can be analyzed by separating how it affects the input from how it affects the noise: Δ Σ M total ( s ) = Δ Σ M in ( s ) + Δ Σ M noise ( s ) . {\displaystyle \Delta \Sigma {\text{M}}_{\text{total}}({\text{s}})=\Delta \Sigma {\text{M}}_{\text{in}}({\text{s}})+\Delta \Sigma {\text{M}}_{\text{noise}}({\text{s}})\,.} To understand how

2656-523: Is often used to label integrators in block diagrams. In a ΔΣ DAC, the quantizer may be called a requantizer or a digital-to-digital converter (DDC), because its input is already digital and quantized but is simply reducing from a higher bitdepth to a lower bitdepth digital signal. This is represented in the z-domain by another z -1 {\displaystyle {\text{z}}^{\text{-1}}} delay stage in series with adding quantization noise. (Note: some sources may have swapped ordering of

Decimation is strongly associated with delta-sigma modulation, but is distinct and outside the scope of this article. The original 1962 paper didn't describe decimation. Oversampled data in the early days was sent as is. The proposal to decimate oversampled delta-sigma data using digital filtering before converting it into PCM audio

However, Charles B Brahm of United Aircraft Corp in 1961 filed a patent "Feedback integrating system" with

3071-480: Is the source of idle tones and pattern noise in delta-sigma converters. However, adding dithering noise (Figure 3) reduces such distortion by making quantization noise more random. ΔΣ ADCs reduce the amount of this noise in the baseband by spreading it out and shaping it so it is mostly in higher frequencies. It can then be easily filtered out with inexpensive digital filters, without high-precision analog circuits needed by Nyquist ADCs. Quantization noise in

The regulator modifies the input to the system T according to its interpretation of the error in the status of the system.

Cloud cover, and in turn planet albedo and temperature, is also influenced by the hydrological cycle . As planet temperature increases, more water vapor is produced, creating more clouds.

Both positive and negative feedback require a feedback loop to operate. However, negative feedback systems can still be subject to oscillations . This is caused by a phase shift around any loop. Due to these phase shifts the feedback signal of some frequencies can ultimately become in phase with

This process can be repeated to increase the order even more. While 1 -order modulators are unconditionally stable, stability analysis must be performed for higher-order noise-feedback modulators. Alternatively, noise-feedforward configurations are always stable and have simpler analysis. The modulator can also be classified by

In a psychology context, on the other hand, negative refers to the valence of the feedback – attractive versus aversive, or praise versus criticism. In contrast, positive feedback is feedback in which the system responds so as to increase the magnitude of any particular perturbation, resulting in amplification of

5727-510: The resistor divider. Ignoring dynamics (transient effects and propagation delay ), the infinite gain of the ideal op-amp means this feedback circuit drives the voltage difference between the two op-amp inputs to zero. Consequently, the voltage gain of the circuit in the diagram, assuming an ideal op amp, is the reciprocal of feedback voltage division ratio β: A real op-amp has a high but finite gain A at low frequencies, decreasing gradually at higher frequencies. In addition, it exhibits

There are many possible factors contributing to this capacity, and most often positive feedback is identified as a possible contributor. However, negative feedback also can play a role. In economics, automatic stabilisers are government programs that are intended to work as negative feedback to dampen fluctuations in real GDP . Mainstream economics asserts that

This makes its dynamic range and SNR inversely proportional to signal frequency. Delta modulation suffers from slope overload if signals move too fast. And it is susceptible to transmission disturbances that result in cumulative error . Delta-sigma modulation rearranges the integrator and quantizer of

In the specific case of a single-bit synchronous ΔΣ ADC, an analog voltage signal is effectively converted into a pulse frequency, or pulse density, which can be understood as pulse-density modulation (PDM). A sequence of positive and negative pulses, representing bits at

6142-556: The system affect the input signal only, the noise is temporarily imagined to be 0: [ in ( s ) − Δ Σ M in ( s ) ] ⋅ 1 s + 0 = Δ Σ M in ( s ) , {\displaystyle [{\text{in}}({\text{s}})-\Delta \Sigma {\text{M}}_{\text{in}}({\text{s}})]\cdot {\frac {1}{\text{s}}}+0=\Delta \Sigma {\text{M}}_{\text{in}}({\text{s}})\,,} which can be rearranged to yield

6225-410: The system and transmission is added to the analog signal, reducing its quality. Digitizing it enables noise-free transmission, storage, and processing. There are many methods of digitization. In Nyquist-rate ADCs, an analog signal is sampled at a relatively low sampling frequency just above its Nyquist rate (twice the signal's highest frequency) and quantized by a multi-level quantizer to produce

6308-403: The system delayed by one clock cycle. The noise term's multiplication by ( 1 − z -1 ) {\displaystyle (1-{\text{z}}^{\text{-1}})} represents a first difference backward filter (which has a single pole at the origin and a single zero at z = 1 {\displaystyle {\text{z}}{=}1} ) and thus high-pass filters

6391-443: The system in a given direction, whereas another set of chemicals drives it in an opposing direction. If one or both of these opposing influences are non-linear, equilibrium point(s) result. In biology , this process (in general, biochemical ) is often referred to as homeostasis ; whereas in mechanics , the more common term is equilibrium . In engineering , mathematics and the physical, and biological sciences, common terms for

6474-465: The system naturally has sufficient damping, many negative feedback systems have low pass filters or dampers fitted. One use of feedback is to make a system (say T ) self-regulating to minimize the effect of a disturbance (say D ). Using a negative feedback loop, a measurement of some variable (for example, a process variable , say E ) is subtracted from a required value (the 'set point' ) to estimate an operational error in system status, which

6557-400: The thermostat (a 'comparator') into an electrical error in status compared to the 'set point' S , and subsequently used by the regulator (containing a 'controller' that commands gas control valves and an ignitor) ultimately to change the heat provided by a furnace (an 'effector') to counter the initial weather-related disturbance in heat input to the house. Error controlled regulation

6640-454: Was implemented in the 17th century. Cornelius Drebbel had built thermostatically controlled incubators and ovens in the early 1600s, and centrifugal governors were used to regulate the distance and pressure between millstones in windmills . James Watt patented a form of governor in 1788 to control the speed of his steam engine , and James Clerk Maxwell in 1868 described "component motions" associated with these governors that lead to

6723-469: Was made by D. J. Goodman at Bell Labs in 1969, to reduce the ΔΣ signal from its high sampling rate while increasing its bit depth . Decimation may be done in a separate chip on the receiving end of the delta-sigma bit stream, sometimes by a dedicated module inside of a microcontroller , which is useful for interfacing with PDM MEMS microphones , though many ΔΣ ADC integrated circuits include decimation. Some microcontrollers even incorporate both

6806-417: Was originally developed as a building block for the construction of analog computers , but is now used almost universally in all kinds of applications including audio equipment and control systems . Operational amplifier circuits typically employ negative feedback to get a predictable transfer function. Since the open-loop gain of an op-amp is extremely large, a small differential input signal would drive

6889-590: Was with the World Bank in 1988–1994. A basic and common example of a negative feedback system in the environment is the interaction among cloud cover , plant growth, solar radiation , and planet temperature. As incoming solar radiation increases, planet temperature increases. As the temperature increases, the amount of plant life that can grow increases. This plant life can then make products such as sulfur which produce more cloud cover. An increase in cloud cover leads to higher albedo , or surface reflectivity, of
