Sigma Delta Modulator Tutorial. How to use this tool enter an adc reference voltage in the lower input field. The sigma delta modulator loop typically runs at a much higher frequency than the final output rate of the digital filter.
In sigma delta converters a widely used filter topology that performs the lowpass function is the sinc type figure 10. In delta sigma modulation accuracy of the modulation is improved by passing the digital output through a 1 bit dac and adding sigma the resulting analog signal to the input signal the signal before delta modulation thereby reducing the error introduced by the delta modulation. Delta sigma modulator is one of the best solutions for this data acquisition interface because the quantization noise is shaped out of band with a high pass characteristic and the decimation filtering can be combined with selective digital filtering and if mixing in order to attenuate both the quantization noise and neighboring blockers.
In its simplest form which features a single bit quantizer it produces a bit stream.
