    Abstract: Techniques for a configurable analog-to-digital converter filter to ameliorate transfer function peaking or frequency response issues are provided. In an example, a front-end circuit of a processing circuit can include a resistor-capacitor filter including at least two capacitors and a switch circuit. The resistor-capacitor filter can couple an input analog signal to the processing circuit. The switch circuit can couple to a first capacitor of the at least two capacitors, and can selectively place a terminal of the first capacitor at a selected one of a plurality of distinct nodes of the resistor-capacitor filter to configure the circuit to address the peaking or frequency response issue.

    Abstract: A continuous-time sigma delta modulator circuit includes a scaling circuit that scales an input analog signal by a selectable range of different scaling factors in order to change a range of signal levels of the input analog signal to a desired range of signal levels in a scaled analog signal prior to conversion of the scaled analog signal to a digital signal. The scaling factor is selected based on the range of signal levels of the input analog signal in order to provide signal levels of the scaled signal within a desired range. The scaling circuit maintains current flow of the input analog signal at a substantially constant level regardless of the different scaling factors that are used to scale the input analog signal.

    Abstract: A method and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit involve forming an analog signal using charge sharing operations. The DAC circuit includes a plurality of digital components with associated parasitic capacitances. The digital components are activated based on a digital input code, such that charge is shared among the parasitic capacitances to form a first analog signal proportional to the digital input code. The digital components can also be activated based on a complementary code to form a second analog signal. The first analog signal and the second analog signal can be used to form, as a final output of the DAC circuit, an analog signal that is linearly proportional to the digital input code.
