Abstract

A system including a first circuit, a second circuit, and a feedback circuit. The first circuit is configured to provide input signals. The second circuit is configured to receive the input signals and provide digital output signals that correspond to the input signals. The feedback circuit includes a chopping circuit, an integrator circuit, and a digital to analog converter circuit. The chopping circuit is configured to receive the digital output signals and provide error signals that represent ripple error in the digital output signals. The integrator circuit is configured to accumulate the error signals and provide an accumulated error signal. The digital to analog converter circuit is configured to convert the accumulated error signal into an analog signal that is received by the second circuit to reduce the ripple error.
