Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter

Abstract

The invention provides a Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter, which comprises a sampling maintaining unit, an amplification unit, a voltage comparison unit, an input chopped wave unit and an output chopped wave unit, wherein the input chopped wave unit is suitable for being used for carrying out chopped wave processing on a first input signal and a second input signal to obtain a first processing signal and a second processing signal and to send the first processing signal and the second processing signal to the sampling maintaining unit, the first input signal and the second input signal are differential signals, and the output chopped wave unit is applicable to the chopped wave processing on a first comparison signal and a second comparison signal which are output by the voltage comparison unit for obtaining an output signal of the Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter. The Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter provided by the invention has the advantage that the detuning due to temperature drift and low-frequency noise is eliminated by using a chopped wave technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to a Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of digital electronic technology, various digital devices, especially digital electronic computers, are widely used and penetrate into almost all fields of the national economy. Digital computers can only process digital signals, and the processed results are still digital quantities. When it is used for automatic control of analog-to-digital converters in the production process, the variables to be processed are often continuously changing physical quantities, such as temperature, pressure, and speed. These are all analog quantities. The analog quantities of these non-electronic signals must first be converted into voltage or current signals through sensors, and then converted into digital quantities through an analog-to-digital converter before they can be sent to the...
