Design of 16 bit digital filter used in delta-sigma A/D converter

A digital decimation filter used in Δ-Σ - ADC is designed and introduced in this paper. The designed filter has a multi-stage structure which is comprised of a stage CIC filter, two stage half-band filters, and a stage compensation filter. The CSD coding, “Hognenauer cut-off theory”, frequency response masking approach and some other techniques are used to improve the performance of the chip and reduce the chip area and power consumption. This downsampling filter is achieved by algorithm modeling using MATLAB and hardware implementation using Verilog HDL. The performance indicators raised are achieved.
