    Abstract: A device and method for sigma-delta modulation may include an input signal and a plurality of integrators. The output of the integrators and a data input may be input to an adder, the sum output to be input to a quantizer to generate a quantized output signal. A reset input to the first integrator may be asserted during a first sample of the quantized output signal to reduce the signal discontinuity at the input of the first integrator, which improves the stability of the sigma-delta modulator.

    Abstract: An analog to digital converter (ADC) includes voltage and reference input terminals, a buffer circuit, and control logic. The buffer circuit includes input and output terminals and a variable resistor including resistive branches connected in parallel. The control logic is configured to, in a calibration phase, determine a given gain value for which gain error is to be calibrated, determine a set of the resistive branches in the buffer circuit to be used to achieve the given gain value, successively enable a different resistive branch of the variable resistor of the set until all resistive branches of the set have been enabled, determine an output code resulting after enabling all resistive branches of the set, and, from the output code, determine a gain error of the given gain value. The control logic is further configured to take corrective action based upon the gain error of the given gain value.

    Abstract: A charge transfer digital-to-analog converter includes a differential reference voltage, a pair of capacitors, and switches including a shorting switch. The switches are configured to be switched in successive phases to generate a charge transfer through the capacitors to generate an output corresponding to a digital input. The specific switches activated and deactivated in each phase are selected according to the digital input. Each capacitor of the pair of capacitors is connected to a respective pin for the output. The shorting switch is configured to short the pair of capacitors to create a zero-differential charge on a first side of the capacitors. The shorting switch is implemented with a bootstrap circuit to maintain a constant common mode voltage of the first side of the capacitors while the shorting switch is activated.
