Abstract:
The present invention provides a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator comprising two ADCs. One of the ADC is configured to generate MSBs of an output signal of the continuous-time delta-sigma modulator, and the other ADC is configured to generate LSBs of the output signal. In addition, the two ADCs sample an output of a loop filter at different times, but the MSBs and LSBs are feedback to the loop filter simultaneously.

Claim (Index 13):
The continuous-time delta-sigma modulator of  claim 5 , wherein the second ADC comprises:\n a first DAC, coupled to the first ADC, for performing digital-to-analog converting operations upon the first digital signal to generate an analog signal; a first subtractor, coupled between the first DAC and the first switch, for subtracting the analog from the filtered signal to generate a residual signal; a second subtractor, coupled to the first subtractor, for subtracting another feedback signal from the residual signal to generate a second signal; a comparator module, for processing the second signal to generate the second digital signal; and a second DAC, coupled to the comparator module and the second subtractor, for receiving the second digital signal to generate the other feedback signal.
