A 16-bit oversampling A-to-D conversion technology using triple-integration noise shaping

A highly stable triple-integration noise-shaping technology which permits greater accuracy for monolithic audio A/D converters is discussed. Based on this technology, a 16-bit 24-kHz bandwidth A-D converter LSI with digital filters was successfully fabricated in 2-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. An SNR (S/(N+THD)) of 91 dB and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.002% at full-scale input were attained.
