Abstract: In order to minimize noise and current consumption in an EEG monitoring system which can be continuously carried by a person to be monitored, an input converter for an EEG  monitoring system is devised. The analog-to-digital converter of the input converter has an input stage, an output stage, and a feedback loop, and the input stage comprises an amplifier (QA) and an integrator (RLF). A voltage transformer (IT) is placed in the input converter upstream of input stage. The transformation ratio of the voltage transformer (IT) has a transformation ratio such that it provides an output voltage larger than the input voltage, thereby multiplying the signal voltage for the input stage by a fixed factor. The voltage transformer (IT) is a switched-capacitor voltage transformer having at least two capacitors (Cx, Cy, Ci). The invention further provides a method of converting an analog signal, and an EEG monitoring system comprising the input converter.
