Abstract
An example residue generation arrangement for a continuous time or hybrid ADC includes a delay circuit having a cascade of analog delay sections, each section to provide a respective delay to an analog input signal, thus providing a delayed analog input signal at the output of the delay circuit. The delay circuit further includes a selector, configured to select an input or an output of one of the delay sections to provide as an input signal to a quantizer of a feedforward path. The quantizer may generate a digital input to a DAC of the feedforward path based on the output of the selector, and the DAC may generate a feedforward path analog output based on the digital signal generated by the quantizer. The arrangement further includes a summation node, configured to generate a residue signal based on the delayed analog input and the feedforward path analog output.
