Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter comprises a sigma-delta modulator; and an ADC filter configured to store a plurality of partial sums as respective entries in a plurality of lookup tables, retrieve at least one of the plurality of partial sums based on an output of the sigma-delta modulator, and calculate a filter output by adding retrieved ones of the plurality of partial sums together.
Claims20
An analog-to-digital converter, comprising:
- a sigma-delta modulator;
- and
- an ADC filter configured to:
- store a plurality of partial sums as respective entries in a plurality of lookup tables,
- retrieve at least one of the plurality of partial sums based on an output of the sigma-delta modulator, and
- calculate a filter output by adding retrieved ones of the plurality of partial sums together.

An analog-to-digital conversion circuit, comprising:
- a plurality of sigma-delta modulators;
- and
- a plurality of ADC filters respectively corresponding to the plurality of sigma-delta modulators,
- wherein the plurality of ADC filters are respectively configured to:
- store a plurality of partial sums as respective entries in a plurality of lookup tables,
- retrieve at least one of the plurality of partial sums based on an output of the sigma-delta modulator, and
- calculate a filter output by adding retrieved ones of the plurality of partial sums together.

A method of calculating an output in an analog-to-digital converter, comprising:
- storing, by an ADC filter, a plurality of partial sums as respective entries in a plurality of lookup tables;
- receiving, by the ADC filter and from a sigma-delta modulator, an output;
- retrieving, by the ADC filter, at least one of the plurality of partial sums based on the output;
- and
- adding, by the ADC filter, retrieved ones of the plurality of partial sums together so as to generate the output.
