22.2.7 Digital Filter
The digital filter processes the 1-bit data stream from the modulator using a
SINC

comb filter. The transfer function is described in the z-Domain by:

where the oversampling rate, OSR, is the ratio of the modulator frequency f
M
to the sample frequency f
S
. Figure 22−2 shows the filter’s frequency response
for an OSR of 32. The first filter notch is at f
S
= f
M
/OSR. The notch’s frequency
can be adjusted by changing the modulator’s frequency, f
M
, using
SD16SSELx and SD16DIVx and the oversampling rate using the SD16OSRx
and SD16XOSR bits .
The digital filter for each enabled ADC channel completes the decimation of
the digital bit-stream and outputs new conversion results to the SD16MEM0
register at the sample frequency f
S
.
