    摘要: A sigma-delta analog-to-digital (A/D) converter has an analog modulator, and an adjustable reference voltage circuit that provides a reference voltage to the analog modulator along a feedback path during A/D conversion. The reference voltage circuit includes a reference voltage generator that provides a plurality of positive and negative polarity signals to a gain multiplexer. The gain multiplexer selectively supplies a pair of positive and negative polarity signals to the analog modulator based on a select signal produced by a gain register and a microprocessor interface bus that together allow adjustment of the range of operation and performance of the sigma-delta A/D converter. This adjustment is made based on a particular application in which the converter is implemented; as the relative input power of an input signal changes, the sigma-delta A/D converter as dynamically adjusted, realizes higher performance.

    摘要: A feedback coder, which employs simple CMOS push/pull amplifiers as gain elements, along with a bistable circuit, in its preferred embodiment takes the form of a second-order delta-sigma modulator. The output of the modulator is converted into pulse code modulated words by a finite impulse response filter which incorporates a partial coefficient generator utilizing simplified logic. The generator output is provided to an accumulator in which the stages operate at reduced speed. A simple multiplexer generates a serial output. The entire converter can be integrated on a semiconductor chip of relatively small area.

    摘要: This application relates to analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs). An ADC 200 has a first converter (201) for receiving an analogue input signal (AIN) and outputting a time encode signal (DT), such as a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal, based on input signal and a first conversion gain setting (GIN). In some embodiments the first converter has a PWM modulator (401) for generating a PWM signal such that the input signal is encoded by pulse widths that can vary continuously in time. A second converter (202) receives the time encoded signal and outputs a digital output signal (DOUT) based on the time encoded signal (DT) and a second conversion gain setting (GO). The second converter may have a first PWM-to-digital modulator (403). A gain allocation block (204) generates the first and second conversion gain settings based on the time encoded signal (DT). The gain allocation block (204) may have a second PWM-to-digital modulator (203) which may be of lower latency and/or lower resolution that the first PWM-to-digital modulator (403).
