Delta-Sigma (DS) Analog-to-Digital Converters are well known for their innate ability to resolve an analog input signal to very small LSB voltage ranges. The primarily applications for this type of product is in the Industrial Process Control market such as direct transducer interface for pressure, temperature, flow, weigh scales and force measurement systems. In the Instrumentation market, the DS converter is particularly well-suited for portable applications, such as thermometers, gas analyzers and blood analyzers. At first glance, high resolution doesn’t seem to be an important specification for these types of applications. To the contrary, close inspection of these transducer interface circuits divulge a different story. The sensing element’s output could be a fairly high voltage (hundreds of mV to several volts), however, the delta output voltages that represent a change in temperature, pressure, light, etc., is usually extremely low, submV or mV.
