In this paper, we designed Interpolation FIR(Finite Impulse Response) filter and 1-bit SDM(Sigma- Delta Modulator) for small digital audio speaker, which has low power consumption and high output characteristics. In order to achieve high linearity and low distortion performance of the systems, we adopt Type I Chevychev FIR filter which has equiripple characteristics in the pass band and proposed high efficient FIR filter structure. SDM is the most efficient modulation technique among the noise shaping techniques. In this paper, we implemented SDM using CIFB(Cascade of Intergrators, Feed-Back) which is generally used in DAC of small digital audio speakers. The proposed SDM structure can achieve high SNR, high-efficiency characteristics and low power consumption in mobile devices. Also considering manufacture of SoC(System on Chip), we performed simulation with Matlab and Verilog HDL to obtain optimal number of operational bits and verified a good experimental results.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a system which is used to encode data using multiple carriers instead of the traditional single carrier system. This method improves the spectral efficiency (optimum use of bandwidth). It also lessens the effect of fading and intersymbol interference (ISI). In 1995, digital audio broadcast (DAB) adopted OFDM as the first standard using OFDM. Later in 1997, it was adopted for digital video broadcast (DVB). Currently, it has been adopted for WiMAX and LTE standards. In this project, a Verilog design is employed to implement an OFDM transmitter (DAC block) and receiver (FFT and ADC block). Generally, OFDM uses FFT and IFFT for modulation and demodulation. In this paper, 16-point FFT decimation-in-frequency (DIF) with the radix-2 algorithm and direct summation method have been analyzed. ADC and DAC in OFDM are used for conversion of the signal from analog to digital or vice-versa has also been analyzed. All the designs are simulated using Verilog on ModelSim simulator. The result generated from the FFT block after Verilog simulation has also been verified with MATLAB.

A 2.5 V feed-forward second-order deltasigma modulator for audio application is presented. A 9-level quantizer with a tree-structured dynamic element matching (DEM) was employed to improve the linearity by shaping the distortion resulted from the capacitor mismatch of the feedback digital-toanalog converter (DAC). A chopper stabilization technique (CHS) is used to reduce the flicker noise in the first integrator. The prototype delta-sigma analogto-digital converter (ADC) implemented in a 65 nm 1P8M CMOS process occupies 0.747 $mm^2$ and achieves 109.1 dB dynamic range (DR), 85.4 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in a 24 kHz audio signal bandwidth, while consuming 14.75 mW from a 2.5 V supply.

In this paper, we propose a system which easily controls the existing serially connected multi-channel speakers in a general personal computer by using a USB(Universal Serial Bus) interface. The personal computer as a host of the USB interface analyzes a sound source and sends audio data in a real-time fashion by the use of the isochronous transmission, one of four transmission methods provided by the USB interface. In addition, a channel is assigned by means of the bulk transmission, one of four transmission methods provided by the USB interface. Transmitted data from the USB host are sent to each speaker through compression and packet generation process. Each speaker detects corresponding digital data and regenerates audio signals through DAC(Digital-to-Analog Converter). A user can easily select a sound source file and a channel by the use of a GUI environment in a personal computer.

This paper has been proposed an audio DAC structure composed of FIRs and IIR filters as digital interpolation filter to integrate the off-chip analog low-pass filter on-a-chip. The passband ripple(< 0.41${\times}$fs), passband attenuation(at 0.41${\times}$fs) and stopband attenuation(> 0.59${\times}$fs) of the Δ$\Sigma$ modulator output using the proposed digital interpolation filter had ${\pm}$ 0.001 ［㏈］, -0.0025［㏈］ and -75［㏈］, respectively. Also the inband group delay was 30.07/fs［s］ and the error of group delay was 0.1672%. Also, the attenuation of stopband has been increased -20［㏈］ approximately at 65［㎑］, out-of-band. Therefore the RC products of analog low-pass filter on chip have been decreased compared with the conventional digital interpolation filter structure.

We implemented a CD signal processor operated on a CAV 48-speed CD-ROM drive into a VLSI. The CD signal processor is a mixed mode monolithic IC including servo-processor, data recovery, data-processor, and I-bit DAC. For servo signal processing, we included a DSP core, while, for CAV mode playback, we adopted a PLL with a wide recovery range. Data processor (DP) was designed to meet the yellow book specification.［2］So, the DP block consists of EFM demodulator, C1/C2 ECC block, audio processor and a block transferring data to an ATAPI chip. A modified Euclid's algorithm was used as a key equation solver for the ECC block To achieve the high-speed decoding, the RS decoder is operated by a pipelined method. Audio playability is increased by playing a CD-DA disc at the speed of 12X or 16X. For this, subcode sync and data are processed in the same way as main data processing. The overall performance of IC is verified by measuring a transfer rate from the innermost area of disc to the outermost area. At 48-speed, the operating frequency is 210 ㎒, and this chip is fabricated by 0.35 um STD90 cell library of Samsung Electronics.
