    Abstract: A low power analog-to-digital converter configured to sense sensor signals may include a loop filter and a feedback digital-to-analog converter. The loop filter may have a loop filter input configured to receive an input current signal from a sensor and generate an output signal responsive to the input current signal. The feedback digital-to-analog converter may have a feedback output configured to generate a current-mode or charge-mode feedback output signal responsive to the output signal, the feedback output coupled to the loop filter input in order to combine the input current signal and the feedback output signal at the input.

    Abstract: Requirements placed on the first integrator of a filter in a continuous-time delta-feedback modulator may be reduced by using circuitry to reduce the speed of a signal provided to the first integrator of the modulator. The reduction in speed applied to the signal received at the first integrator may then be compensated with circuitry elsewhere in the modulator, such that the net effect of the slow down and speed up of signals does not affect the output of the modulator. The sigma-delta modulator may be implemented in converters, such as an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
