Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and device for a delta-sigma ADC. The method and device may comprise receiving an input signal to at least two parallel-connected first-stage integrators and corresponding feedback DACs, and simultaneously integrating the input signal by each of the first-stage integrators. The method and device may further comprise a second stage integrator connected in series with the first-stage integrators, a quantizer, and digital to analog converters, coupled between the output of the quantizer and the inputs of the first-stage integrators.
