An improved sub-range ADC uses a sigma delta converter which eliminates both the sample and hold and digital-to-analog converter circuits of prior sub-ranging ADCs. An input analog signal is applied to a sigma delta modulator that provides a one-bit output. The one-bit output is input to a first analog filter and a digital correction circuit. The output from the first analog filter and the input analog signal, suitably delayed and optionally filtered, are input to a difference amplifier that provides the input to an ADC. The output of the ADC also is input to the digital correction circuit. The digital correction circuit includes a digital decimation filter for the one-bit sigma delta modulator output to produce a multi-bit digital output that is added to, the output from the ADC. The resulting digital signal may be additionally digitally filtered to produce a converted digital signal that corresponds to the input analog signal.
