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, ...

This in-depth article covers the theory behind a Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It specifically focuses on the difficult to understand key digital concepts of over-sampling, noise ...

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 ...

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.

In my previous column, I took a historical approach to delta-sigma modulation with the single-slope converter (May 8, p. 18, ED Online 18747). Jim Williams of Linear Tech responded, and he sent me a ...

Sigma-delta converters are in wide use among applications that demand high precision and accuracy. A variant of the sigma-delta architecture, called the continuous-time sigma delta (CT-S?), has found ...

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 ...

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced the highest resolution analog-to-digital ...

The requirement of effective analog to digital conversion and accuracy gives growth to converters. The sigma delta modulator have a salient feature of shaping the noise, such that noise reduces from ...

It’s a well-known conundrum that while most computers these days are digital in nature, almost nothing in nature is. Most things we encounter in the real world, whether it’s temperature, time, sound, ...

Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq:CRUS) has extended its widely used CS5531/32/33/34 family of integrated Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital (A/D) converters with a lower-cost option, the CS5530, that offer the ...
