Abstract

A ΔΣ modulator converts an input analog quantity into a digital value quantized with a predetermined number of bits and outputs the digital value. The ΔΣ modulator includes an integrator that includes a capacitor and integrates a difference between the input analog quantity and an analog quantity acquired from D/A conversion of the output digital value by a D/A converter; a quantizer that quantizes an analog quantity acquired from integration by the integrator; and a digital integrator that carries out an integration operation on data acquired from quantization by the quantizer.
