    Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator includes a receiving circuit, a loop filter, a quantizer, a dynamic element matching circuit and a digital to analog converter. The receiving circuit is arranged for receiving a feedback signal and an input signal to generate a summation signal. The loop filter is arranged for receiving the summation signal to generate a filtered summation signal. The quantizer is arranged for generating a digital output signal according to the filtered summation signal. The dynamic element matching circuit is arranged for receiving the digital output signal to generate a shaped digital output signal for shaping element mismatch. The digital to analog converter is arranged for performing a digital to analog converting operation upon a signal derived from the shaped digital output signal to generate the feedback signal to the receiving circuit, wherein clock signals used by the quantizer and the dynamic element matching circuit have different frequencies.

    Abstract: Analog-to-digital-converters (ADC) are provided. The ADC contains a first capacitive digital-to-analog-converter (CDAC) and a control circuit. The CDAC, including n bit, is configured to connect a kth bit of the n bits to a first voltage reference to provide a first analog signal, convert the first analog signal into first digital code using 0th through (k−1)th bits that are less significant than the kth bit, connect the kth bit of the n bits to a second voltage reference to provide a second analog signal, and convert the second analog signal into second digital code using the 0th through (k−1)th bits that are less significant than the kth bit. The control circuit is configured to estimate a weight of the kth bit based on the first and second digital code.
