Abstract

In some embodiments, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture can be implemented to process a signal from a charge output sensor. The ADC architecture can include a summing node for receiving a sensor signal from the charge output sensor, and an output node implemented to provide a digital signal representative of the sensor signal. The ADC architecture can further include a charge amplifier implemented to receive an analog signal from the summing node as an input analog signal and generate an output analog signal with a gain, and an ADC circuit implemented to generate the digital signal based on the output analog signal from the charge amplifier. The ADC architecture can further include a feedback circuit implemented between the output node and the summing node.
