Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using an amplifier-based noise shaping circuit. The amplifier-based noise shaping circuit generates a noise shaping signal. A comparator of the ADC has a first input terminal coupled to an output terminal of a capacitive data acquisition converter that captures an analog input, a second input terminal receiving the noise shaping signal, and an output terminal for observation of the digital representation of the analog input. The amplifier-based noise shaping circuit uses an amplifier to amplify a residual voltage obtained from the capacitive data acquisition converter and provides a switched capacitor network between the amplifier and the comparator for sampling the amplified residual voltage and generating the noise shaping signal.
