That allows using advanced control algorithms with a built-in intelligence with a sufficient speed, for many demanding applications. These capabilities make the embedded control ideal for using at complex plants and for obtaining the highest performance in a wide area of operations. However, control performance also strongly depends on the feedback. A short latency and a high precision of embedded analog peripherals allow building fast and accurate control loops.

However, this problem is not easy to solve because of the lack of analog to digital converter(ADC) chips with more than 24 bits in the market. In this paper, we propose a method in which an adder, an integrator, a digital to analog converter chip, a field-programmable gate array, and an existing low-resolution ADC chip are used to build a third-order 16-bit oversampling delta-sigma modulator. This modulator is equipped with a digital decimation filter, thus facilitating higher resolution and larger dynamic range seismic data acquisition. Experimental results show that, within the 0.1–40 Hz frequency range, the circuit board's dynamic range reaches 158.2 d B, its resolution reaches 25.99 bits, and its linearity error is below 2.5 ppm, which is better than what is achieved by the commercial 24-bit ADC chips ADS1281 and CS5371. This demonstrates that the proposed method may alleviate or even completely resolve the amplitude-limitation problem that so commonly occurs with broadband observation instruments during strong earthquakes.展开更多
