The Oversampling ADC


2 categories depending on the rate of sampling
Nyquist rate converter

fN = 2F where F is the bandwidth of the signal and fN is the

sampling rate
Oversampling converter
samples the signal at a rate much higher than the signal
bandwidth.

higher resolution
digital signal processing techniques
throughput is considerably less
amount of time required to sample the input signal is high

provides the quantization in the form of a pulse-density

modulated signal
straight oversampling
Predictive
Noise shaping

First-Order SD Modulator
most widely used oversampling ADC
the most robust ADC against circuit imperfections
best suited slow- and medium-speed conversions such as

instrumentation, digital voice, and audio application

transfer function from VIN to V0UT follows that of a low-

pass filter
transfer function of the quantization noise follows that of a

high-pass filter
high-pass characteristic is known as noise shaping
Low-pass filtering - remove all of the out-of-band

quantization noise

Higher Order SD Modulators


provide a greater amount of noise shaping
