Abstract
A continuous-time delta-sigma Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) includes: a loop filter, for receiving and noise-shaping an analog input signal, and outputting a first loop voltage; a first summing resistor, for transforming a first feedback current to be a first feedback voltage, and summing the first loop voltage and the first feedback voltage so as to generate a first summing voltage, wherein the first summing voltage is equal to a sum of the first loop voltage and the first feedback voltage; a quantizer, for outputting a digital output signal according to the first summing voltage; and a current Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), for generating the first feedback current according to the digital output signal.
