Abstract
An electronic system includes a configurable processing device. The configurable processing device includes a processor that performs digital processing, a first input that receives digital signal, a first output that sends digital signal and a converter that converts between analog and digital signals. The converter includes a delta-sigma modulator.
Claims20
An electronic system comprising:
- an analog-to-digital converter that converts an analog signal to a digital signal, the analog-to-digital converter including:
- a first input that receives the analog signal,
- a second input that receives a reference signal,
- a network of passive components including at least one resistor and one capacitor, the network of passive components being connected to the first input, and
- a configurable processing device, including:
- a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) comparator having a first comparator input connected to the reference signal, having a second comparator input connected to the network of passive components and having a comparator output, and
- a flip-flop (FF) having a FF input connected to the comparator output and having an FF output that produces the digital signal, the FF output being connected and providing feedback to the network of passive components.
