Abstract

See full text

A hysteretic digital filter includes a first multi-bit flip-flop having an input for receiving a series of multi-bit sigma-delta ADC codes, a clock input for receiving a clock signal and an output; a second multi-bit flip-flop having an input coupled to the output of the first multi-bit flip-flop, an output for providing an output code of the digital filter, and an input for receiving a latch control signal, the second multi-bit flip-flop latching its input to its output under control of the latch control signal; and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to selectively provide the latch control signal to trigger latching by the second multi-bit flip-flop dependent on a running comparison of the output code of the digital filter and the value of individual ones of the multi-bit sigma-delta ADC codes from the series of multi-bit sigma-delta ADC codes.
