The circuit arrangement has a sigma-delta converter ( 2 ) for converting an analog input signal into a digital output signal. The sigma-delta converter ( 2 ) contains a loop filter, a comparator connected downstream of the latter and a feedback loop to feed the output signal back to the input signal. To reduce idle tones a dither signal is fed to the comparator by means of a dither-signal line ( 27.1 ). The dither signal is not however generated by a complex dither-signal generator. Instead, what is used as a dither signal is a signal that is available in the circuit but is not specifically generated for this purpose, e.g. an output signal from a second sigma-delta converter ( 2 '). The circuit arrangement is thus simpler and less expensive than conventional circuit arrangements without its reduction of idle tones suffering.
