ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a Sigma Delta A/D converter (2) for generating a N-bits digital output signal (4) on the basis of an analogue input signal (6), comprising a control loop which comprises a quantizer (8) comprising at least a comparator (24.1, 24.2) for generating the N-bits digital output signal (4) and a D/A converter (10) in a first feedback loop (12) of the control loop for generating an analogue version (14) of the N-bits digital output signal (4) on the basis of the N-bits digital output signal (4), wherein the quantizer (8) also comprises an Up-Down counter (26) which is coupled to the comparator (24.1, 24.2), wherein the D/A converter (10) is coupled to the comparator (24.1, 24.2) in a second feedback loop (27) of the control loop.
