Delta-sigma type ad converter, class-d amplifier, and dc-dc coverter

摘要

A ӣ-type AD converter includes a subtractor which receives an analogue input signal and a feedback signal and which outputs a signal pertaining to a difference between the signals, an integrator which integrates a signal output from the subtractor, a comparator which binarizes a signal output from the integrator by comparing with a predetermined threshold value, a counter which measures respective pulse widths of a signal output from the comparator, and a PWM circuit which outputs a pulse signal of a predetermined period having a duty cycle responsive to a count value output from the counter and which feeds back the pulse signal as the feedback signal to the subtractor. The counter measures the respective pulse widths in each PWM frame period in synchronism with the PWM circuit, and the PWM circuit feeds back to the subtractor a pulse signal whose duty cycle is set in accordance with a value of the measured pulse width in a next PWM frame. A count value output from the counter is extracted as a converted digital output value.
