Abstract

See full text

A sigma-delta modulator arrangement includes a continuous-time sigma-delta modulator with at least one modulator stage, a digital integrator and a given number of switches. The switches are arranged and configured to convert the continuous-time sigma-delta modulator into a first order incremental sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter comprising the digital integrator. At least a first modulator stage of the continuous-time sigma-delta-modulator, which is coupled with an input of the continuous-time sigma-delta modulator, includes at least one tuning element for adjusting an input signal and/or a feedback signal which are supplied to the first modulator stage.
