Abstract:
Various embodiments relate to delta-sigma loop filters with input feedforward. A delta-sigma loop filter may include a first integrator and a quantizer having an input coupled to an output of the first integrator. The delta-sigma loop filter may further include a first summing node having an output coupled to an input of the first integrator. Further, the delta-sigma loop filter may include a feedforward path from an input of the delta-sigma loop filter to a first input of the first summing node. The delta-sigma loop filter may also include a first feedback path from an output of the quantizer to a second input of the first summing node.

Claim (Index 15):
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) comprising a delta-sigma loop filter, the delta-sigma loop filter comprising:\n a first summing node having a first input coupled to an input of the delta-sigma loop filter; a first integrator having an input coupled to an output of the first summing node; a second summing node having a first input coupled to an output of the first integrator; a second integrator having an input coupled to an output of the second summing node; a third summing node having a first input coupled to an output of the second integrator; a third integrator having an input coupled to an output of the third summing node; a quantizer having an input coupled to an output of the third integrator; a first input-feedforward path from the input of the delta-sigma loop filter to a second input of the second summing node; a first feedback path from an output of the quantizer to a second input of the first summing node; and a second feedback path from the output of the quantizer to a third input of the second summing node.
