Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the case of using such different analog circuit elements (such as capacitors and resistors), the influence of manufacturing spread cannot be avoided
As a result, it is difficult to control the bandwidth of the filter circuit and thus the overall operation of the sigma delta A / D converter

Abstract

A signal processing circuit comprising a sigma delta analog to digital converter with a feedback loop that comprises an analog filtering circuit (14) that has a controllable time constant. In a calibration mode a detector (18) detects a signal strength in a band (34) of frequencies at an output of the sigma delta analog to digital converter. A bandwidth control circuit (19) has an output coupled to a control input of the analog filtering circuit (14), and is arranged to control said time constant dependent on a signal strength in a band (34) of frequencies at the output of the sigma delta analog to digital converter. The band (34) of frequencies is selected so that noise shaped quantization noise density (32) of the sigma delta analog to digital converter rises with frequency. Thus, detection output depends on the time constant, shifts in the time constant affecting the rise of quantization noise. In this way a simple calibration of the time constant can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a circuit comprising a sigma delta analog-to-digital conversion circuit. Background technique [0002] Sigma delta analog-to-digital conversion circuits are well known. A sigma delta analog-to-digital conversion circuit can be obtained, for example, from the paper entitled "A low-power 10-bitcontinuous-time CMOS sigma -delta A / D converter" article. Furthermore, a general background on sigma delta analog-to-digital conversion circuits can be found, for example, in the book entitled "Delta Sigma Data Conversion" by S. Norsworthy (ISBN 0-7803-1045-4, 174 -182 pages). [0003] A simple sigma delta A / D converter includes digitization circuitry with an integrated feedback loop from output to input. The digitizing circuit digitizes a signal resulting from the difference between the signal obtained from the input signal and the integration of the output signal of the digitizing circuit. [0004] The advantage of sigma delta analog...
