This paper presents the design of the incremental delta-sigma ADC. The proposed circuit consists of pre-amplifier, S & H circuit, MUX, delta-sigma modulator, and decimation filter. Third-order discrete-time delta-sigma modulator with 1-bit quantization were fabricated by a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The designed circuit show that the modulator achieves 87.8 dB signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) over a 5 kHz signal bandwidth and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ${\pm}0.25$ LSB, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ${\pm}0.2$ LSB. Power consumption of delta-sigma modulator is $941.6{\mu}W$. It was decided that N cycles are 200 clock for 16-bits output.
