Abstract
Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for improving noise performance in a delta sigma modulator comprising an adder, quantizer and nth order filter. The adder is operable to receive an input signal and a feedback signal, and output a modified input signal. The quantizer is operable to receive the modified input signal and output a quantized output signal, the quantized output signal having a corresponding quantization error. The nth order filter is operable to receive a quantization error value and generate the feedback signal, the nth order filter comprising a first memory element having a first error value, a second memory element having a second error value, and a gravity component operable to converge the first error value and the second error value when the input signal is approximately zero.
