    Abstract: A method of improving the signal/noise ratio of a sigma-delta modulator during the re-establishment of its stability which comprises the following steps: defining a bit sequence corresponding to a state of instability of the modulator, monitoring the flow of bits output by the modulator to check whether it contains the instability bit sequence, and resetting the modulator to zero if the instability bit sequence is detected at the output. To ensure a high signal/noise ratio of the modulator even during the detection and re-establishment of stability, the method also comprises the following steps: delaying the flow of bits output by the modulator at least for the time required to detect the instability bit sequence and modifying the output bit sequence during the delay period by replacing it with a predetermined bit sequence.
