Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a signal input circuit configured to select one of the plurality of differential sensor signals according to a channel selection signal; an amplifier circuit configured to amplify an output of the signal input circuit; and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to convert an output of the amplifier circuit into a digital value, wherein each of the plurality of sensor signals is a differential signals and the signal input circuit changes polarity of an output signal thereof according to a first chopping signal, and wherein the ADC includes a delta-sigma modulator configured to generate a bit stream from an output of the amplifier circuit; an output chopping circuit configured to adjust phase of the bit stream according to the first chopping signal; and a filter configured to filter an output of the output chopping circuit and to output the digital value.
