Zusammenfassung:A multi-mode analog-to-digital converter includes a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter circuit configured to receive the analog input and produce a digital bit-stream associated therewith, the delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter including at least one integrator configured to reset to an initial state in response to a reset signal A digital filter circuit is configured to receive the digital bit-stream and produce two filtered outputs derived from the digital bit-stream. During one mode (e.g., a DC mode) the delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter circuit is configured to receive the reset signal and produce the digital bit-stream for a predetermined number of clock cycles, and the digital output corresponds to the first filtered output. In another mode (e.g., an AC mode), the delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter is configured to continuously produce the bit-stream, and the digital output corresponds to the second filtered output.
