    摘要: In some embodiments, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture can be implemented to process a signal from a charge output sensor. The ADC architecture can include a summing node for receiving a sensor signal from the charge output sensor, and an output node implemented to provide a digital signal representative of the sensor signal. The ADC architecture can further include a charge amplifier implemented to receive an analog signal from the summing node as an input analog signal and generate an output analog signal with a gain, and an ADC circuit implemented to generate the digital signal based on the output analog signal from the charge amplifier. The ADC architecture can further include a feedback circuit implemented between the output node and the summing node.

    摘要: A multi-bit continuous-time sigma-delta modulator, SDM, includes an input configured to receive an input analog signal, a first summing junction configured to subtract a feedback analog signal from the input analog signal, a loop filter configured to filter an output signal from the first summing junction: an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, configured to convert the filtered analog output signal to a digital output signal; and a feedback path for routing the digital output signal to the first summing junction. The feedback path includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converters, DACs, configured to convert the digital output signal to an analog form. The ADC includes multiple per-bit parallel loops, each loop configured to provide a per-bit current summation of the filtered analog output signal such that an output of the multiple per-bit parallel loops is a multi-bit quantization digital output signal.

    摘要: A delta sigma modulator having: an integrator that receives an input signal; a comparator that outputs a digital pulse when an output of the integrator goes beyond a threshold; a 1 bit DAC that outputs a predetermined analog signal in response to the digital pulse; and a subtractor that subtracts the analog signal from the input signal; wherein the 1-bit DAC comprises: an output MOS transistor having its gate and drain connected by default to a predetermined control voltage and to a current sink; wherein in response to the digital pulse a control circuit controllably brings the MOS transistor to a non-conductive state where any drop in voltage of its source causes the MOS transistor to conduct and, after connecting the drain of the MOS transistor away from the current sink and to an output node, pulls down the source until a predetermined charge is sent to the output node.

    摘要: A sigma delta modulator includes a sigma delta modulating loop and a plurality of adjusting loops. The sigma delta modulating loop processes an input signal and an adjustment signal based on a first clock signal, so as to generate a quantized output signal. The first clock signal has a clock cycle. The sigma delta modulating loop has a first delay time that is the same as M times of the clock cycle. M is an integral multiple of 0.5 and is larger than 1. The adjusting loops delay the quantized output signal for second delay times, respectively, so as to generate the adjustment signal.
