Simple Sigma-Delta ADC

Analog to Digital Converter for Use in FPGAs
 

Our system is going under maintenance starting April 18, 2025 at 6:00 PM Pacific and ending April 20, 2025 at 4:00 PM Pacific. During this window, the website may not be reachable. For immediate assistance, please contact techsupport@latticesemi.com.

Reference Design LogoThe Simple Sigma-Delta Analog-to-Digital Converter Reference Design targets the implementation of an analog-to-digital converter in a Lattice CPLD or FPGA. This reference design supports the use of an external analog comparator device, or optionally an on-chip LVDS buffer in devices with differential LVDS input support. Implementing this reference design can eliminate the need for dedicated and expensive analog-to-digital circuits (ADC), power supply monitors, and/or transducers.

The design can be implemented with few logic resources and is flexible enough to meet a variety of applications. The Simple Sigma-Delta ADC is an excellent choice for monitoring various sensors and power rails of a system.
