    Abstract: An incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with high accuracy. The incremental ADC has a delta-sigma modulator, performing delta-sigma modulation on an analog input signal to output a quantized signal, and a digital filter, receiving the quantized signal to generate a digital representation of the analog input signal. A loop filter of the delta-sigma modulator has a preset circuit. In the preset circuit, the output terminal of the loop filter is preset rather than being reset during the reset phase of the incremental ADC.

    Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator includes a first combining circuit, a loop filter circuit, a quantizer circuit, a truncator circuit, a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit, and a compensation circuit. The first combining circuit generates a first analog signal by combining an analog feedback signal and an analog input signal. The loop filter circuit generates a loop-filtered signal according to the first analog signal. The quantizer circuit outputs a first digital signal that is indicative of a digital combination result of at least a truncation error compensation signal and the loop-filtered signal. The truncator circuit performs truncation upon the first digital signal to generate a second digital signal. The first DAC circuit generates the analog feedback signal according to the second digital signal. The compensation circuit generates the truncation error compensation signal according to a truncation error resulting from truncation performed upon the first digital signal.
