A sigma delta modulator having an integrator with a first input for coupling to an analog signal and a second input for coupling to a reference voltage. A comparator is provided having a first input coupled to an output of the integrator and a second input for coupling to the reference voltage. The comparator produces signal having a logic state in accordance with the relative magnitude of signals at the first and second inputs thereof. The logic state is latched at the output of such comparator during latching transitions in a series of latching pulses fed to the comparator. A one-bit quantizer is provided for storing the logic state of the output of the comparator at sampling transitions of a series of clock pulses fed to the one-bit quantizer. The series of clock pulses and the series of latching pulses are synchronized, one with the other. Each one of the latching transitions occurs prior to a corresponding one of the sampling transitions. A buffer is coupled between an output of the quantizer and the first input of the integrator. The regulator produces a voltage to power the buffer. The reference voltage is a fractional portion of the voltage produced by the regulator for the buffer. In one embodiment, the modulator including a second integrator having a first input coupled to the output of the first integrator, a second input for coupling to the reference voltage, and an output coupled to the first input of the comparator. A second buffer is included coupled between an output of the quantizer and the first input of the second integrator. |
