    • A tri-level capacitor structure includes a first shielded metal layer (36) that is disposed between an upper metal layer (38) and a lower polysilicon layer (34). The shielded metal layer (36) is separated from the polysilicon layer (34) by an oxide layer (42), and the upper metal layer (38) is separated from the shielded layer (36) by an oxide layer (44). The upper metal layer (38) and the polysilicon layer (34) are connected together to a node (48) to form an Insensitive Node, whereas the shielded layer (36) is connected to a node (46) that is referred to as the Sensitive Node (S). The capacitor structure is operable to be connected in a switched-capacitor configuration in a lossy integrator, such that the Sensitive Node is connected to the virtual ground of a differential amplifier (50). The integrator utilizing this configuration would be comprised of at least one switched-capacitor (56) on the input that has the plates thereof connected between ground and either an input signal VIN or the inverting input of the differential amplifier (50) through control switches (62) and (64). The Sensitive Node associated with node (46) is connected to the switch (62) such that it is connected between ground and the inverting input of amplifier (50).

    • A ratiometric converter includes first and second A/D converters (36, 38). The latter receives an input signal voltage from a load cell (10) on sense lines (12) and (14) and compares it with an internal reference. Similarly, the first converter (36) receives the reference voltage to the load cell (10) and compares it with the internal reference. The outputs of the converters (36) and (38) are then input to subtraction circuits (78) and (84), respectively, in the digital domain. In a calibration mode, switches (72) and (73) short the reference nodes in the load cell (10) together to determine the non- ratiometric offsets VOFF1-4. These offsets are stored in registers (80) and (86) for the reference and input voltages, respectively. During operation, the offsets are input to subtraction blocks (78) and (84) and a digital subtraction performed on the outputs of both converters. The outputs of the subtraction blocks (78) and (84) are input to a ratio metric operator block (52) to perform a digital division thereon. This results in a ratiometric output that has the non-ratiometric offsets removed. Thereafter, the signal is input to a system calibration block (32) to remove ratiometric errors.

    • A delta-sigma modulator for a digital-to-analog converter includes a single adder (60) that has one input thereof multiplexed by multiplexer (62). Four shift registers (64), (66), (68) and (70) are connected in a serial fashion such that the data output by the adder (60) is input to the shift register (64) and the other input of adder (60) is connected to the output of register (70). In operation, the multiplexer (62) first selects the input data for input to the one input of adder (60) and selects the output of register (70) for the other input. This represents the first stage of integration wherein the accumulated value from a previous cycle is added to the present data. The output of the first stage of integration will be cycled through the registers for each overall cycle of the delta-sigma modulator. In the second stage of integration on the next clock cycle of the 4x clock, the multiplexer (62) selects the output of the register (68) for adding to the output of the register (70). This represents the operation of the second stage of integration. The output of register (64) represents the output of each stage of integration after the accumulation step, which is then input to one of four shift left registers (82)-(88), which performs a gain scaling function. An overflow condition is also accommodated with an exclusive-OR gate (78).
