This paper describes a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capabl
e of converting input frequencies up to 250 kHz. It consists of a fifth-ord
er switched-capacitor delta-sigma modulator and a decimation filter. Variou
s design optimizations in the modulator are presented. The decimation filte
r consists of a comb filter followed by a novel, highly efficient and scala
ble finite impulse response filter, The ADC was implemented in 0.6-mu m CMO
S technology. It achieves a dynamic range of 94 dB.
