Quantizer for sigma delta encoder has combiner that assigns headings to comparators according to control signal

摘要

An input network (5) assigns headings based on whether input signals (V1+,V1-) exceed quantization thresholds or not. A combiner (9) assigns the headings to comparators (COMP1-COMP8) based on a control signal (10). The comparators generate quantized signals at the outputs. An independent claim is also included for a sigma delta encoder.
