Abstract
A processing apparatus includes: a distribution unit that divides an input signal into input signal blocks, and distributes, in dividing order, the divided input signal blocks to delta-sigma modulation circuits; a parallel circuit unit including the delta-sigma modulation circuits that perform delta-sigma modulation on the input signal blocks and output output signal blocks; and a coupling unit that couples the output signal blocks outputted from the parallel circuit unit, thereby to generate an output signal such that a first output signal block reflects a result obtained from a first delta-sigma modulation circuit, which performs delta-sigma modulation on a first input signal block corresponding to the first output signal block, performing delta-sigma modulation on the first input signal block, and a state of a second delta-sigma modulation circuit that performs delta-sigma modulation on a second input signal block located immediately before or after the first input signal block.
