Abstract
A digitized system operates to receive one or more analog signals from a sensor or other component and convert the analog signals to one or more digital signals. An analog-to-digital converter comprises a loop filter, a quantizer and one or more feedback digital-to-analog converters. A gain component provides coefficients along different points of a signal processing path to extend a bandwidth of the analog-to-digital converter. The gain component can modify a signal transfer function of the analog-to-digital converter while preserving a noise transfer function in order to process a signal in a higher frequency band in an extended mode of operation than other signals being processed in a normal operating mode.
