This paper describes a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capable of converting input frequencies up to 250 kHz. It consists of a fifth-order switched-capacitor delta-sigma modulator and a decimation filter. Various design optimizations in the modulator are presented. The decimation filter consists of a comb filter followed by a novel, highly efficient and scalable finite impulse response filter. The ADC was implemented in 0.6-m CMOS technology. It achieves a dynamic range of 94 dB.
