[comp.dsp] MASH on the new CD players

smeekl@cc.curtin.edu.au (10/11/90)

Does anybody out there in dsp land know about the recently introduced MASH
reconstruction filter(?) in the newer generation CD players ???

I've asked some Hi-Fi Salespeople about it, but they tried to sell me one..

Thanks
Lindsay

 MASH was invented here at NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp.) LSI 
Laboratories. The following three papers were good to read. 

(1) Y. Matsuya, et al "A 17-bit Oversampling D-to-A Conversion 
         Technology Using Mutistage Noise Shaping"
    IEEE Jouranal of Solid-State Circuits Vol.24, No.4, August 1989, 
    pp.969-975.

(2) K. Uchimura, et al,"VLSI A-to-D and D-to-A converters with multi-stage
         noise shaping modulators," ICASSP86, pp.1545-1548.

(3) Y. Matsuya, et al, "A 16-bit oversampling A-to-D conversion technology 
        using triple-integration noise shaping," 
    IEEE Journal of SC, Vol.SC-22, pp.921-929, Dec., 1987.

People interested in MASH (and other "1 bit") technologies
should look at Jim Candy's papers from the 1960's and 1970's
on delta-sigma modulation.

The "new" algorithms are refinements of delta-sigma.
