Continuous-time delta-sigma analog digital converter
First Claim
1. A continuous-time delta-sigma analog digital converter for converting an analog input signal (IN) to a digital output signal (OUT), comprising:
- an analog filter (20) which filters the analog input signal (IN) and has at least one integration capacitor,a quantifier (30) operated in cycled fashion, which quantifier quantifies the filtered analog signal transmitted by the analog filter for generating the digital output signal (OUT), anda feedback device (40) with at least one digital analog converter, which device transmits at least a first analog feedback signal to analog filter (20) corresponding to the value of the digital output signal (OUT),wherein the feedback device (40) comprises a switching device (INV1, INV2) actuated by the digital output signal (OUT) of the quantifier (30) and coupled capacitively (Cc1, Cc2) to the integration capacitor for generating a second feedback signal corresponding to the differentiated output signal of the quantifier (30), by means of which device charge portions are transmitted to the integration capacitor if there is a variation in the digital output signal (OUT), wherein the charge portions correspond to the amount of the variation.

Abstract
A continuous-time delta-sigma analog digital converter for converting an analog input signal to a digital output signal, comprising an analog filter with at least one integration capacitor, a cycled quantifier which quantifies the filtered analog signal for generating the digital output signal, and a feedback device with at least one digital analog converter, which supplies at least a first analog feedback signal to the analog filter corresponding to the value of the digital output signal. The feedback device for generating a second feedback signal corresponding to the differentiated output signal of the quantifier, comprises a switching device coupled capacitively to the integration capacitor, by means of which device corresponding charge portions are transmitted to the integration capacitor when there is a variation in the digital output signal.
