ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit includes an analog-to-digital (ADC) portion and a processor portion. The processor portion generates high frequency noise. The ADC portion includes chopper switches, an ADC, a first low-pass filter (LPF), an inverter, and a second LPF. An analog sensor signal is chopped by the chopper switches at a chopping frequency below the processor noise frequency. The ADC performs conversions a rate higher than the chopper frequency such that multiple first conversions are performed when the chopper switches are in a first configuration and multiple second conversions are performed when the chopper switches are in a second configuration. The first LPF attenuates the high frequency noise, converts the first conversions into first information, and converts the second conversions into second information. The inverter inverts the second information. The second LPF attenuates transposed 1/F noise and converts the first information and the inverted second information into ADC output values.
