Sigma Delta A/D Conversion for Signal Conditioning

Download or read book Sigma Delta A/D Conversion for Signal Conditioning written by Kathleen Philips and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-05 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in SigmaDelta design and of the challenges for future realizations. It provides an understanding of the fundamental power efficiency of SigmaDelta converters. In addition, it presents an analysis of the power consumption in the decimation filter. Understanding these power/performance trade-offs, it becomes clear that straight-forward digitization of a conditioning channel, i.e. exchanging analog for digital conditioning, comes at a major power penalty.
