Abstract
A Sigma Delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a method for eliminating idle tones of the Sigma Delta ADC are provided. The Sigma Delta ADC includes a loop filter, a quantizer, an adder and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The loop filter performs filtering on a difference between an analog input signal and an analog feedback signal to generate a filtered signal. The quantizer is coupled to the loop filter, and generates a digital output signal according to the filtered signal. The adder is coupled to the quantizer, and adds a digital dithering signal to the digital output signal to generate a digital feedback signal. The DAC is coupled to the loop filter, and generates the analog feedback signal according to the digital feedback signal.
