It’s not surprising that Analog to Digital Converters (ADC’s) now employ several techniques to accomplish higher speeds and resolutions than their simpler counterparts. Enter the Delta-Sigma (Δ∑) ADC ...

The delta-sigma ADC tackles the application demands of a slow analog signal that requires a high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and wide dynamic range. But, the delta-sigma converter is not the only ...

The most common architectures used in modern analog to digital converter (ADC) design are the successive approximation register (SAR), the sigma-delta and the pipeline. Each architecture has its own ...

In part one, I compared the different Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) and the roles and properties of Delta Sigma ADC’s. I covered a lot of the theory behind these devices, so in this installment, ...

As an application engineer, I spend a lot of time convincing customers that a delta-sigma modulating analog-to-digital converter (ADC), or DSM, would be the best choice for their particular ...

The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is a key component in digital communications receive channels, and the correct choice of ADC is critical for optimizing system design. In this article, we discuss ...

Incremental analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and delta-sigma modulators represent two advanced architectures that have been pivotal in high-precision signal processing. Incremental ADCs convert ...

One of the most challenging tasks in Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) design is to adapt the cicuitry to ever new CMOS process technology. For digital circuits the number of gates per square mm app.

This article will explain continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) ADC technology in a less traditional approach, enabling signal chain designers toenvision a new class of easy to use precision ADC ...

A typical feed-forward modulator for ?S ADCs shows how this topology can limit or eliminate the input signal’s dependence on the integration stages. The strength of the delta-sigma (ΔΣ) architecture ...
