Abstract
An apparatus for generating a digital signal representative of an analog signal includes two signal conversion devices, each having an analog signal section coupled with an input locus and a digital signal section coupled between the analog signal section and an output locus. The signal conversion devices receive sampled analog signals that are phase-offset by a first phase difference. Two feedback devices are each coupled between the output locus of one signal conversion device and the analog signal section of the other signal conversion device to convey feedback signals that are phase-offset by a second phase difference. The first phase difference and the second phase difference cooperate to affect power density spectrum of a resultant digital output signal at at least one predetermined frequency. The resultant digital output signal is a summing of a digital output signals presented by the two signal conversion devices at their output loci.
