Abstract:
Embodiments of sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuits and a microphone circuit are disclosed. In an embodiment, a sigma-delta ADC circuit includes a pair of operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs), a filter connected to the pair of OTAs, a quantizer connected to the filter, a differential digital-to-analog converter (DAC) connected to the quantizer, and a bias compensation circuit configured to measure a biasing condition of a first OTA of the pair of OTAs and to apply the biasing condition of the first OTA to a second OTA of the pair of OTAs to reduce Total Harmonic Distortion Plus Noise (THD+N) in the sigma-delta ADC circuit. An output of a microphone and a differential output of the differential DAC are inputted into input terminals of the pair of OTAs.
