    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a sensor interface module. The sensor interface module includes a comparator having a first comparator input, a second comparator input, and a comparator output. A current- or voltage-control element has a control terminal coupled to the comparator output and also has an output configured to deliver a modulated current or modulated voltage signal to an output of the sensor interface module. A first feedback path couples the output of the current- or voltage-control element to the first comparator input. A summation element has a first summation input, a second summation input, and a summation output, wherein the summation output is coupled to the second comparator input. A supply voltage module provides a supply voltage signal to the first summation input. A second feedback path couples the comparator output to the second summation input.

    Abstract: An apparatus for reading out a modulated time-continuous sensor output signal includes a loop filter, a sample-quantizer and a feedback circuit. The loop filter filters the sensor output signal to provide a filtered sensor output signal, and amplifies frequency proportions present in a frequency range. The sample-quantizer samples and quantizes the filtered sensor output signal to provide a time-discrete, quantized sensor output signal. The feedback circuit feeds a feedback signal based on the time-discrete, quantized sensor output signal back to the loop filter and provides a readout signal.
