[0062] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a recording path 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the recording path 100 is used to process an input signal Vin to generate an output signal Dout. Figure 1As shown, the recording path 100 includes an input buffer 110, a low-pass filter 102, and a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 104. The ADC 104 includes an adder 120, two integrators 130 and 140, a delay circuit 150, an adder 160, a quantization circuit 170, and a digital-to-analog converter 180. The input buffer 110 includes an amplifier 112, an input resistor R1, and a feedback resistor R2 coupled between an input terminal and an output terminal of the amplifier 112. The low-pass filter 102 includes an output resistor R3 and an output capacitor C1. In this embodiment, the ADC 104 can be placed in any electronic device that requires analog-to-digital conversion, such as an electronic device with a microphone, and is used to convert analog audio signals from the microphone into digital audio signals.

[0063] In the operation of recording path 100, input buffer 110 receives input signal Vin to generate a buffered input signal Vin', and the buffered input signal Vin' is then processed by delay circuit 150 to generate a delayed input signal Vin''. Simultaneously, adder 120 subtracts a feedback signal VFB from the buffered input signal Vin' to generate a first signal V1, integrator 130 samples and integrates the first signal V1 to generate a second signal V2, and integrator 140 samples and integrates the second signal V2 to generate a third signal V3. Next, adder 160 performs a weighted summation operation on the delayed input signal Vin'', the second signal V2, and the third signal V3 to generate a fourth signal V4. Quantization circuit 170 may include multiple comparators and an encoding circuit, which is used to convert the fourth signal V4 into an output signal Dout, where the output signal Dout is a multi-bit digital signal. In one embodiment, the quantization circuit 170 quantizes the fourth signal V4 into eight quantization levels: +7, +5, +3, +1, -1, -3, -5, and -7, and the resulting output signal Dout is a three-bit digital signal. For example, the three bits D1, D2, and D3 of the output signal Dout corresponding to the quantization levels +7, +5, +3, +1, -1, -3, -5, and -7 can be (1,1,1), (1,1,0), (1,0,1), (1,0,0), (0,1,1), (0,1,0), (0,0,1), and (0,0,0). Next, the digital-to-analog converter 180 performs a digital-to-analog conversion operation on the output signal Dout to generate a feedback signal VFB.

[0064] also, Figure 1The trigonometric integrator ADC 104 is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. For example, the integrator 130 and the quantization circuit 170 can have different circuit designs, as long as the quantization circuit 170 can generate the output signal Dout based on the fourth signal V4.

[0065] It should be noted that since the operation of the trigonometric integrator ADC 104 is well known to those skilled in the art, and the focus of this invention is on the circuit design of the integrator 130, detailed descriptions of other components of the trigonometric integrator ADC 104 are not repeated here.

[0066] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an integrator 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2As shown, integrator 130 includes a sampling circuit 202 and an integration circuit 204. Sampling circuit 202 includes a first circuit 210, a second circuit 220, a third circuit 230, a first specific switch SW1, and a second specific switch SW2. In this embodiment, the first circuit 210 includes a first switch SW11, a second switch SW12, a third switch SW13, a fourth switch SW14, and a first sampling capacitor Cs1. The first switch SW11 is coupled between a first terminal N11 and a common-mode voltage Vcm. The second switch SW12 is coupled between the first terminal N11 and a sampling circuit output terminal No1. The third switch SW13 is coupled between a sampling circuit input terminal Ni1 and a second terminal N12. The fourth switch SW14 is coupled between the second terminal N12 and a first voltage D1*Vr. The first sampling capacitor Cs1 is coupled between the first terminal N11 and the second terminal N12. The second circuit 220 includes a first switch SW21, a second switch SW22, a third switch SW23, a fourth switch SW24, and a second sampling capacitor Cs2. The first switch SW21 is coupled between a first terminal N21 and a common-mode voltage Vcm. The second switch SW22 is coupled between the first terminal N21 and the sampling circuit output terminal No1. The third switch SW23 is coupled between the sampling circuit input terminal Ni1 and a second terminal N22. The fourth switch SW24 is coupled between the second terminal N22 and a second voltage D2*Vr. The second sampling capacitor Cs2 is coupled between the first terminal N21 and the second terminal N22. The third circuit 220 includes a first switch SW31, a second switch SW32, a third switch SW33, a fourth switch SW34, and a third sampling capacitor Cs3. The first switch SW31 is coupled between a first terminal N31 and a common-mode voltage Vcm; the second switch SW32 is coupled between the first terminal N31 and the sampling circuit output terminal No1; the third switch SW33 is coupled between the sampling circuit input terminal Ni1 and a second terminal N32; the fourth switch SW34 is coupled between the second terminal N32 and a third voltage D3*Vr; and the third sampling capacitor Cs3 is coupled between the first terminal N31 and the second terminal N32. Figure 2 In this context, "Vr" can be a reference voltage with a fixed voltage level, while D1, D2, and D3 are the three bits of the output signal Dout.

[0067] The integrating circuit 204 includes an amplifier 240 and an integrating capacitor Cint, wherein the integrating capacitor Cint is coupled between the negative input terminal and the output terminal of the amplifier 240, and the positive input terminal of the amplifier 240 is coupled to the common-mode voltage Vcm.

[0068] It should be noted that, Figure 2The number of sampling capacitors and corresponding switches shown are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the invention. In other embodiments, if the output signal Dout has only two bits, the third circuit 230 can be removed from the sampling circuit 202; while if the output signal Dout has four bits, the sampling circuit 202 can include an additional fourth circuit, wherein the architecture of the fourth circuit is the same as that of the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230.

[0069] In this embodiment, reference is also made to Figure 3 In the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230, the first switches SW11, SW21, and SW31 are controlled by a first clock signal CK1, and the second switches SW12, SW22, and SW32 are controlled by a second clock signal CK2. The first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 will not simultaneously have a high voltage level; that is, the first switches SW11 / SW21 / SW31 and the second switches SW12 / SW22 / SW32 will not be simultaneously turned on. Furthermore, the third switches SW13, SW23, and SW33 in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230 are controlled by a third clock signal CK1d. The third clock signal CK1d is generated based on the first clock signal CK1. For example, the third clock signal CK1d is generated by delaying the first clock signal CK1, meaning the phase of the third clock signal CK1d lags behind the phase of the first clock signal CK1. The fourth switches SW14, SW24, and SW34 in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230 are controlled by a fourth clock signal CK2d. The fourth clock signal CK2d is generated based on the second clock signal CK2. For example, the fourth clock signal CK2d is generated from the second clock signal CK2 through a delay circuit, meaning the phase of the fourth clock signal CK2d lags behind the phase of the second clock signal CK2. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the third clock signal CK1d and the second clock signal CK2 will not simultaneously have a high voltage level, and the fourth clock signal CK2d and the first clock signal CK1 will not simultaneously have a high voltage level.

[0070] In other embodiments, the third switches SW13, SW23, and SW33 in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230 may also be controlled by the first clock signal CK1, and / or the fourth switches SW14, SW24, and SW34 in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230 may also be controlled by the second clock signal CK2. These design variations should fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0071] It should be noted that, Figure 3 The timing and duty cycles of the multiple clock signals shown are merely illustrative examples and not limitations of the invention. For instance, as long as the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 do not simultaneously turn on their corresponding switches (e.g., the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 do not simultaneously have a high level), the phase and duty cycle of the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CK2 can vary according to the designer's considerations. Similarly, as long as the third clock signal CK1d and the fourth clock signal CK2d do not simultaneously turn on their corresponding switches, the phase and duty cycle of the third clock signal CK1d and the fourth clock signal CK2d can vary according to the designer's considerations.

[0072] In the operation of integrator 130, firstly, integrator 130 operates in a sampling phase. During this phase, the first clock signal CK1 and the third clock signal CK1d can have high voltage levels to turn on the first switches SW11, SW21, and SW31 (corresponding to clock signal CK1) and the third switches SW13, SW23, and SW33 (corresponding to clock signal CK1d) in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230, respectively. Meanwhile, the second clock signal CK2 and the fourth clock signal CK2d can have low voltage levels to keep the second switches SW12, SW22, and SW32 (corresponding to clock signal CK2) and the fourth switches SW14, SW24, and SW34 (corresponding to clock signal CK2d) in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230 in a non-conducting state. During the sampling phase, the voltage difference between the first signal V1 and the common-mode voltage Vcm is stored in the first sampling capacitor Cs1, the second sampling capacitor Cs2, and the third sampling capacitor Cs3.

[0073] Furthermore, before the sampling phase begins, that is, before the third switches SW13, SW23, and SW33 are turned on, the first specific switch SW1 and the second specific switch SW2 will be turned on by the first clock signal CK1, so that the second terminals N12, N22, and N32 in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230 are connected to each other to average their charges, that is, so that the second terminals N12, N22, and N32 have the same or similar voltage levels.

[0074] Following the sampling phase, integrator 130 operates in an integration phase. During this phase, the first clock signal CK1 and the third clock signal CK1d can have low voltage levels, causing the first switches SW11, SW21, SW31 and the third switches SW13, SW23, SW33 in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230 to be in an off state. Meanwhile, the second clock signal CK2 and the fourth clock signal CK2d can have high voltage levels, turning on the second switches SW12, SW22, SW32 and the fourth switches SW14, SW24, SW34 in the first circuit 210, the second circuit 220, and the third circuit 230, respectively. During the integration phase, the first sampling capacitor Cs1, the second sampling capacitor Cs2, and the third sampling capacitor Cs3 convert the difference between the stored input signal Vin' and the feedback signal VFB into a sampled signal Vs. Integrator 204 then integrates the sampled signal Vs to generate the second signal V2. As can be seen from the foregoing, the sampling circuit 202 performs a sampling operation on the first signal V1 to generate the sampled signal Vs.

[0075] exist Figure 2 In this embodiment, by turning on the first specific switch SW1 and the second specific switch SW2 before the sampling phase begins due to the first clock signal CK1, the second terminals N12, N22, and N32 can have the same or similar voltage levels. This allows the input buffer 110 to quickly transmit the first signal V1 to the first sampling capacitor Cs1, the second sampling capacitor Cs2, and the third sampling capacitor Cs3 without requiring strong driving capability. For example, suppose that before the sampling phase begins, the three bits D1, D2, and D3 of the output signal Dout are (1, 0, 1) respectively, and Figure 2 The voltage levels of the second terminals N12, N22, and N32 will be equal to (Vr, 0, Vr). Therefore, before the sampling phase begins, by turning on the first specific switch SW1 and the second specific switch SW2, the voltage levels of the second terminals N12, N22, and N32 will be equal to (2 / 3)*Vr. Furthermore, since the trigonometric integrator ADC 104 uses over-sampling technology, that is, the voltage level of the buffered input signal Vin' is usually very close to (2 / 3)*Vr, the input buffer 110 only requires a lower drive capability to charge and discharge the voltage levels of the second terminals N12, N22, and N32 to the voltage level of the buffered input signal Vin', thus reducing the power consumption of the input buffer 110.

[0076] In the prior art, since the first specific switch SW1 and the second specific switch SW2 do not have charge averaging function, during the sampling stage, the second terminal N12 of the first circuit 210 needs to be charged and discharged from Vr to the voltage level of the first signal V1, the second terminal N22 of the second circuit 220 needs to be charged and discharged from 0V to the voltage level of the first signal V1, and the second terminal N32 of the third circuit 230 needs to be charged and discharged from Vr to the voltage level of the first signal V1. Therefore, the input buffer 110 requires a strong driving capability and has high power consumption.

[0077] In summary, in the integrator of this invention, by designing a first specific switch SW1 and a second specific switch SW2 with charge averaging function to be turned on before the sampling phase begins, and by making the second terminal of the sampling capacitor close to the first signal to be sampled, the input buffer can charge and discharge the sampling capacitor to the voltage level of the first signal with only low drive capability, thereby reducing the power consumption of the input buffer.
