Abstract
Techniques that allow application of noise-shaped dither without applying dither at sampling, resulting in the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit advantageously being balanced during acquisition. Balancing the ADC circuit at acquisition can reduce the risk of sampling digital interferences that can couple in through the references or substrates.
