Abstract
A modulator includes an analog integrator including an analog circuit and a quantizer quantizing its output signal. An external input signal is input thereto. A modulator is coupled to the latter stage of the modulator, and includes a quantizer. A probe signal generation circuit injects a probe signal to the modulator. An adaptive filter searches for a transfer function of the modulator by observing an output signal of the quantizer in accordance with a probe signal. Another adaptive filter searches for a transfer function of the modulator by observing an output signal of the quantizer in accordance with the probe signal. A noise cancel circuit cancels a quantization error generated by the quantizer using search results of the adaptive filters.
