Zusammenfassung: | There is described an input stage for an A/D converter, comprising (a) a transconductance element adapted to receive, at a first input of the transconductance element, an analog input signal that is to be converted to a digital signal by the A/D converter, (b) a feedback path for providing an analog feedback signal to a second input of the transconductance element, the analog feedback signal being based on a digital output signal of the A/D converter, and (c) an integrator for integrating an output current of the transconductance element, wherein the integrating element is adapted to generate an integrator output signal representative of the integrated output current. There is also described an A/D converter comprising such an input stage and a system comprising a plurality of such A/D converters. |
