NOISE SHAPING ALGORITHMIC ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are some examples of algorithmic analog-to-digital converters (AADCs) that perform noise shaping. In particular, an AADC disclosed herein includes circuitry that can store residue(s) of one or more conversion cycles produced by the AADC and apply a value corresponding to the residue(s) to a subsequent conversion cycle. The AADC may perform a filtering procedure with the residue(s) to produce the value applied to the subsequent conversion. Applying the value to the subsequent conversion cycle can increase a signal-to-noise ratio of the signal that the AADC is converting in the subsequent conversion cycle.
