Demystifying Sigma-Delta ADCs


Posted on May 7, 2012

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 shaping, and decimation filtering. A description of new converter, the MAX1402, and several applications for Delta-Sigma converters are included. Sigma-delta converters offer high resolution, high integration, and low cost, making them a good ADC choice for applications such as process control and weighing scales.
