Abstract
An oversampling A/D converter for high resolution data conversion is provided. An analog input signal is quantized into a digital equivalent value with a finite quantization error associated therewith in a first circuit portion. An analog low pass filter is inserted between the first circuit portion and a second circuit portion similar in function and circuitry to the first circuit portion. The second circuit portion functions to remove the error of the first circuit portion from an output signal by providing a signal component, which when added with the output of the first circuit portion cancels the error of the first circuit portion. The low pass filter provides attenuation of quantization error provided by the second circuit portion which results in an output signal with a significantly attenuated error.
