Abstract
A noise-limiting, switched current delta-sigma modulator for use in, for example, an oversampling analog-to-digital converter. The modulator includes a first integrator having a relatively large bias current and one or more second integrators having relatively small bias currents. The modulator according to the present invention reduces power consumption and chip area.
