Abstract

A combined finite impulse response filter and digital-to-analog converter for converting sigma-delta over-sampled data into analog form. The filter removes out-of-band noise energy from the reconstructed analog signal resulting from the sigma-delta encoding process. The filter/converter is implemented in switched-capacitor technology. Further, a method of designing the optimum number of taps and the tap weight coefficients of the filter is given.
