Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. An incremental analog-to-digital converter, iADC, comprising a DAC according to claim 1, the iADC further comprising
an input for providing an analog input signal,
a combiner being configured to combine the analog input signal with the analog feedback signal from the DAC,
a loop filter being configured for filtering a combination of the analog input signal and the analog feedback signal,
an N-level quantizer for generating the multi-bit word based on an output of the loop filter,
a feedback path comprising the DAC, the DAC being configured for converting the multi-bit word from the N-level quantizer to an analog feedback signal for the combiner of the iADC, and
a decimation filter provided for filtering the multi-bit word to generate a digital system output signal.
