Abstract
The control apparatus (') is used to dynamically assign N individual references to N individual comparators of a quantizer in a sigma-delta analogue/digital converter, the control apparatus (′) generating a digital control signal (′). The control apparatus (′) has a storage means () for providing the value of the control signal (′) at the time k−1, and a summation means () for summing the output signal Y of the quantizer with the stored value of the first control signal (′) at the time k−1.
