    Abstract: An Analog-Digital Converter (ADC) is provided. The ADC includes a plurality of sigma-delta modulators, a plurality of decimators, a plurality of differentiators, and a plurality of XOR operators. The plurality of sigma-delta modulators respectively convert analog signals to digital pulses. The plurality of decimators respectively convert a first sampling rate of a corresponding digital pulse to a second sampling rate which is lower than the first sampling. The plurality of differentiators respectively differentiate signals converted at the second sampling rate to perform delta modulation. The plurality of XOR operators extract a signal component changing with respect to the delta-modulated signals. Therefore, the number of interface pins between a modem and an RFIC can be reduced.

    Abstract: An operational amplifier circuit is provided. The operational amplifier circuit includes a differential amplifier of a cascade structure and a switched-capacitor type Common-Mode FeedBack (CMFB) circuit. The differential amplifier amplifies a difference between two input signals to output an anode output voltage and a negative output voltage. The switched-capacitor type CMFB circuit averages the anode output voltage and the negative output voltage of the differential amplifier, compares the average voltage with a reference voltage to generate a feedback signal based on a result of the comparison, and provides the feedback signal to the differential amplifier. Therefore, power consumption is reduced and a battery use time of a wireless terminal can be extended. Also, since an operational amplifier gain of each analog filter terminal is not negatively affected, a Direct Current (DC) offset is reduced, thereby improving signal quality.
