Stabilized noise shaper of a small scale having a suppressed quantization noise in high frequency region without deteriorating S/N ratio

摘要

In a noise shaper comprising integrators of three or more stages, a quantizer and a feedback circuit, there are provided a circuit for subtracting from an output of each of the integrators a result obtained by delaying the output of the same integrator by one sample and multiplying it by a constant number, so as to output the result of the subtraction to an integrator at the subsequent stage, and a circuit for feeding back a result obtained by delaying an output of the quantizer by one sample and multiplying it by any constant number value, to an input of each of the integrators.
