Optimizing Digital Processing with CTSD Precision ADCs

This article series is in the Analog topic within our Series Library

Continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) architecture, which has been predominantly used in audio and high-speed ADCs, is being tailored for precision applications to achieve the highest precision while leveraging its unique signal-chain simplification properties. The advantages of this architecture remove the burdens involved with designing the periphery.

This article series explains the benefits of CTSD ADCs and how to adapt them to precision medium-bandwidth apps.
