Abstract

An error feedback system for a delta sigma modulator is disclosed. The error feedback system has an error transfer function where at least k−1 coefficients are set to zero. This allows the error feedback system to be divided into k feedback paths that are performed in parallel at a clock speed that is 1/k of the system clock of the delta sigma modulator (i.e. the rate at which the output of the delta sigma modulator changes).
