Abstract

See full text

A delta-sigma modulator includes: an integrator having an operational amplifier; a quantizer quantizing an output of the integrator; a first D-A converter converting an output of the quantizer to a current signal to provide negative feedback to the operational amplifier; a feedforward path feeding forward an input of the integrator to the quantizer; and a second D-A converter converting the output of the quantizer to a current signal to provide negative feedback to the quantizer. The integrator includes a resistive element having a first end connected to the input of the integrator and a second end connected to an inverting input of the operational amplifier, n capacitive circuits connected in series between the inverting input and an output of the operational amplifier, and (n−1) resistive elements each having a first end connected to an interconnecting node of the capacitive circuits and a second end connected to a common node.
