Abstract

A delta-sigma modulator generates a bit stream signal from an analog signal by operating according to a modulation period including a sampling period and a filtering period and includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) configured to generate a charge signal according to one of a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage according to the bit stream signal during the sampling period and to output a signal generated according to the charge signal and the other of the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage; a loop filter configured to charge a sampling signal corresponding to the analog signal during the sampling period and to filter an output from the DAC and a signal generated according to the sampling signal during the filtering period; and a quantizer configured to generate the bit stream signal according to an output from the loop filter in the modulation period.
