Dave Van Ess, an apps engineer over at Cypress Semiconductor has a nice article about ADC noise over at Electronic Design. Now me, being an analog curmudgeon, I don ...

Incremental analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and delta-sigma modulators represent two advanced architectures that have been pivotal in high-precision signal processing. Incremental ADCs convert ...

Delta-sigma converters are ideal for converting signals over a wide range of frequencies from dc to several megahertz with very-high-resolution results. Figure 1 shows the basic topology, or core, of ...

Shown is a simplified continuous-time sigma-delta ADC model, comprising a sigma-delta modulator and a decimation filter. The DT-S? input structure typically implements switched capacitors, and CT-S?

Q. Can you please explain, simply, as to a Bear of Little Brain 1, how sigma-delta converters work? A. By over-sampling, noise shaping and digital filtering. Athens is a beautiful city, with the ...

Not many off-the-shelf ADCs use continuous-time delta-sigma technology. So to get a clearer understanding of the technology, we'll compare it to discrete-time delta-sigma. The major difference between ...

In part one, I compared the different Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) and the roles and properties of Delta Sigma ADC’s. I covered a lot of the theory behind these devices, so in this installment, ...

A circuit that generates a 1-bit pulse density modulated (PDM) signal from analog input. It creates fixed-width pulses in relation to the amplitude of the analog waveform. As the wave amplitude rises, ...
