An N-bit delta-sigma modulator reduces circuit errors associated with an internal N-bit digital-to-analog converter by replacing the N-bit digital-to-analog converter with a digital feedback circuit comprising a ternary digital-to-analog converter and an (N-1)-bit digital-to-analog converter. The internal N-bit digital-to-analog converter is typically used to generate a global feedback signal that is provided to a first summation circuit. To provide an equivalent function but with better noise transfer characteristics, the digital feedback circuit generates two feedback signals. The ternary digital-to-analog converter is part of a first feedback path that generates a first feedback signal for the first summation circuit, and the (N-1)-bit digital-to-analog converter is part of a second feedback path that generates a second feedback signal for the first summation circuit or a subsequent summation circuit.
