Abstract
In one aspect, an apparatus includes: a first feedback digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to receive a first feedback signal from a first successive approximation register (SAR) and output a first analog signal; a comparator to compare the first analog signal with a reference voltage; the first SAR to store a digital value based on the comparison and provide the first feedback signal to the first DAC; a second feedback DAC to receive a modulated quantized residual error based on the comparison and output a second analog signal; a second SAR to store a quantized residual error; and a delta-sigma modulator (DSM) to modulate the quantized residual error and provide the modulated quantized residual error to the second feedback DAC.
