A processing system, and associated input device and method are disclosed suitable for reducing a receiver size within the input device. The processing system comprises a delta-sigma modulator comprising one or more input nodes configured to receive a signal based on a sensor signal received from at least a first sensor electrode of the plurality of sensor electrodes. The delta-sigma modulator further comprises an integrator coupled with the one or more input nodes and configured to produce an integration signal, a quantizer coupled with an output of the integrator and configured to quantize the integration signal, and a feedback digital-to-analog converter (DAC) controlled based by the quantizer. The processing system further comprises a digital filter coupled with an output of the delta-sigma modulator and configured to mitigate a quantization noise of the quantizer.
