Sigma-Delta A/D

Started by Marco October 28, 2005
Hallo,
is there anybody who can help me to find out the scheme of a 16-bit 
delta-sigma adc?

I have already made some searches into google but I don't have found 
interesting informations.

Many Thanks
Marco Toschi





Marco,
This any good?

Now I'm trying to implement the sigma delta a/d. The range of my analog input will be from 0 to 3.3V Here the scheme of delta sigma modulator: _______ ________ __________ Analog In --|diff.amp.|---|Integrator|---|Comparator|----> dig.filter --| | | | |with gnd | | | | | ________ | ---------| 1-bit dac|------------------------- | | It's not clear the function of 1-bit DAC. If it's only 1 bit it should be as a switch, so, in my case, a comparator connected to ground. And also diff.amp should be a comparator? I think I'm making a mistake. Could you explain where is wrong? Many Thanks Marco

your scheme is hard to read, you probably used tabs instead of spaces. the DAC should output 0v and 3.3V, your comparator should have a 3.3/2= 1.65V reference -Lasse

To answer another of Marco's questions, the diff. amp should not be a comparator. It must have a linear output and will usually be based on an op. amp. Regards, John

Is it possible to use 2 LVDS pins? Marco

Sorry, I hope this would be more clear 


You could see a clear picture at the following link:

The integrator can be made with a 1-bit accumulator?

And differential amplifier can be made using a IBUFDS?


Many Thanks
Marco

Look for US Patents 6,351,145 and 6,246,258 at http://patft.uspto.gov/ They are about implementing ADCs by using differential FPGA inputs as analog comparators. Kolja Sulimma
