Abstract:
A converter, comprising:a first summer adapted to produce a first output;an input gain element adapted to receive an input signal and provide a gain-adjusted signal to the first summer;a first delay unit adapted to receive the first output, produce a first delayed output and provide the first delayed output to the first summer;a second summer directly adapted to receive the first delayed output and produce a second output;a second delay unit adapted to receive the second output, produce a second delayed output, and provide the second delayed output to the second summer;a comparator adapted to receive the second delayed output and produce a comparator output; anda feedback gain element adapted to receive the comparator output and produce a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal, the first feedback signal to be provided to the first summer, and the second feedback signal to be provided to the second summer, whereby the comparator output represents a scaled version of the input signal.
