ABSTRACT:
A separate filter circuit is inserted between the D/A converter and the summing junction in the feedback path of a conventional sigma delta modulator. This additional filter allows control of the quantization noise transfer function profile independently of the forward signal transfer function. By proper tailoring of the transfer functions a third or higher order modulator can be constructed without instability developing.
