MCP3461/2/4R Delta-Sigma

Architecture

A Delta-Sigma ADC is an oversampling converter that

incorporates a built-in modulator, which digitizes the

quantity of charge integrated by the modulator loop.

The quantizer is the block that performs the

Analog-to-Digital conversion. The quantizer is typically

one bit or a simple comparator, which helps to maintain

the linearity performance of the ADC (the DAC

structure is in this case, inherently linear).

Multibit quantizers help to lower the quantization error

(the error fed back in the loop can be very large with

1-bit quantizers) without changing the order of the

modulator or the OSR, which leads to better SNR

figures. However, typically the linearity of such archi-

tectures is more difficult to achieve since the DAC is no

more simple to realize and its linearity limits the THD of

such ADC.

The modulator 5-level quantizer is a Flash ADC

composed of four comparators arranged with equally

spaced thresholds and a thermometer coding. The

device

also

includes

proprietary

5-level

DAC

architecture that is inherently linear for improved THD

figures.

Power Supply Rejection Ratio

(PSRR)

This is the ratio between a change in the power supply

voltage and the change in the ADC output codes. It

measures the influence of the power supply voltage on

the ADC outputs. PSRR is defined in Equation 4-10.

The PSRR specification can be DC (the power supply

is taking multiple DC values) or AC (the power supply

is a sine wave at a certain frequency with a certain

Common-mode). In AC, the amplitude of the sine wave

represents the change in the power supply.

EQUATION 4-10:

Where VOUT is the equivalent input voltage that the

output code translates to with the ADC transfer

function.

4.15

Common-Mode Rejection Ratio

(CMRR)

This is the ratio between a change in the

Common-mode input voltage and the change in the

ADC output codes. It measures the influence of the

Common-mode input voltage on the ADC outputs.

The CMRR specification can be DC (the Common-mode

input voltage takes multiple DC values) or AC (the

Common-mode input voltage is a sine wave at a certain

frequency with a certain Common-mode). In AC, the

amplitude of the sine wave represents the change in

the Common-mode input voltage. CMRR is defined in

Equation 4-11.

EQUATION 4-11:

Where VINCOM = (VIN+ + VIN-)/2 is the Common-mode

input voltage and VOUT is the equivalent input voltage

that the output code translates to with the ADC transfer

function.

Digital Pins Output Current

Consumption

The digital current consumption shown in the Electri-

cal Characteristics table does not take into account

the current consumption generated by the digital output

pins and the charge of their capacitive loading. The

specification is intended with all output pins left floating

and no communication.

In order to estimate the additional current consumption

due to the output pins, see Equation 4-12. This equa-

tion specifies the amount of additional current due to

each pin when its output is connected to a Cload

capacitance, with respect to DGND, and submitted to an

output signal toggling at an fout frequency.

If a typical 10 MHz SPI frequency is used, with a 30 pF

load and DVDD = 3.3V, the SDO output generates an

additional maximum current consumption of 500 µA

(the maximum toggling frequency of SDO is 5 MHz,

since fSCK = 10 MHz, and this is reached when the ADC

output code is a succession of ‘1’s and ‘0’s). The Cload

value includes internal digital output driver capaci-

tance, but this can generally be neglected with respect

to the external loading capacitance.
