Abstract

A system and method for making a digital encoder. The digital encoder has a digital-to-analog converter having multiple inputs and an output. The encoder also has an integrator having an input and an output, wherein the output of the digital-to-analog converter is connected to the input of the integrator. A quantizer has an input and an output, wherein the output of the integrator is connected to the input of the quantizer, and the output of the quantizer is connected to one of the plurality of inputs of the digital-to-analog converter. Methods to make the foregoing structure are also described.
