Abstract:
Embodiments of multi-mode sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuits and a microphone circuit are disclosed. In an embodiment, a multi-mode 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 controller configured to switch the multi-mode sigma-delta ADC circuit between a single-ended operational mode, a pseudo differential operational mode, and a full differential operational mode to improve common mode rejection (CMR) performance by controlling the pair of OTAs. An output of a microphone and a differential output of the differential DAC are inputted into input terminals of the pair of OTAs.
