    摘要: A continuous time, sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter circuit includes a sigma-delta modulator circuit configured to receive an analog input signal. A single bit quantizer of the modulator generates a digital output signal at a sampling frequency. A data storage circuit stores bits of the digital output signal and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) elements are actuated in response to the stored bits to generate an analog feedback signal for comparison to the analog input signal. A filter circuit includes polyphase signal processing paths and a summation circuit configured to sum outputs from the polyphase signal processing paths to generate a converted output signal. A fan out circuit selectively applies the stored bits from the data storage circuit to inputs of the polyphase signal processing paths of the filter circuit.

    摘要: In accordance with an embodiment, a delta-sigma modulator includes: an analog loop filter comprising an outer portion and an inner portion having an input coupled to the outer portion; a quantizer coupled to an output of the inner portion of the analog loop filter; an outer feedback path coupled between an output of the quantizer and an input to the outer portion of the analog loop filter; and a compensation filter coupled between an output of the quantizer and an input of the inner portion of the analog loop filter. The compensation filter has a transfer function configured to correct for an effect of excess loop delay (ELD) on the delta-sigma modulator.

    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter includes a primary converter and a secondary converter. The primary converter executes conversion processing to convert an analog input signal to a first digital signal through delta-sigma modulation. The secondary converter outputs a second digital signal by converting amplified analog output of a quantization error in the primary converter to the second digital signal.

    摘要: A delta-sigma modulation circuit is enabled to be used to detect a pen signal. An integrated circuit according to the present disclosure is a sensor controller that detects pen signals transmitted from an active pen. The integrated circuit includes a delta-sigma modulation circuit including a subtractor that subtracts a feedback signal from a received signal input from a sensor, an integrator that integrates an output signal of the subtractor, a quantizer that quantizes an output signal of the integrator, and a digital analog converter that generates the feedback signal based on an output value of the quantizer. The integrated circuit also has a processor that detects a level of the received signal based on an output value of the delta-sigma modulation circuit, and a gain controller that a level of the feedback signal based on the level of the received signal detected by the processor.

    摘要: A semiconductor device such as a sigma delta A/D converter comprises an integrator configured to output first and second output signals, a quantizer configured to generate a first digital signal based on the output signals, first and second switches configured to control application of first and second reference voltages to a first resistor based on respective first and second control signals, and a third switch configured to control connection between the first resistor and a first input terminal of the integrator based on a third control signal. The first through third control signals are generated based on the first digital signal and a second digital signal obtained by delaying the first digital signal. The third switch is turned on when any one of the first and second switches is turned on, and is turned off when both the first and second switches are turned off.
