Abstract
A sigma-delta modulator includes a plurality of quantizers, an input path, a feedback path, a loop filter, a pre-filter, and a connection path. The plurality of quantizers are configured to produce a plurality of quantized signals. The input path is configured to lead an input signal to the plurality of quantizers. The feedback path is configured to feed back a feedback signal into the input path, and the feedback signal is produced by averaging the plurality of quantized signals. The loop filter is put on the input path before the plurality of quantizers, and the loop filter is configured to receive the input signal and the feedback signal. The pre-filter is configured to output a signal to a corresponding quantizer which is one of the plurality of quantizers.
