A delta modulator automatically adjusting the slewing rate is disclosed. In the absence of a transition in the output data of a delta modulator, a parameter used for the integrator of the delta modulator is increased. When the comparator of the modulator indicates that the feedback signal of the modulator has overshot the input signal, the parameter is decreased or reversed until the two signals are approximately equal as signalled by a 50% duty cycle.
