Abstract

A circuit (100) comprises an input terminal (141) which is configured to receive an analog input signal (142). The circuit (100) also comprises a combination element (601) which is configured to combine a number of time-displaced signal values of the input signal (142) to form an analog combination signal (144). The circuit (100) also comprises a quantizer (131) having a converter core which is configured to receive the combination signal (144) via passive charge redistribution from the combination element (601) and to convert it into a digital output signal (145). Such techniques can thus provide for an analog/digital conversion with filtering in the analog domain.
