Disclosed herein is a &Dgr;&Sgr; modulator including: at least one integrator; a quantizer for quantizing a signal output by the integrator and outputting the quantized signal as a digital signal; and a compensation section configured to compensate the &Dgr;&Sgr; modulator for a non-ideal characteristic caused by an internal loop delay, wherein the compensation section is a feedback path formed to start at the output node of the quantizer and end at the input node of the integrator immediately preceding the quantizer, and the feedback path formed to start at the output node of the quantizer and end at the input node of the integrator realizes a frequency-independent part in combination with the integrator and an internal DA converter which adopts the NRZ technique to suppress the signal amplitude at the quantizer input.
