A
Delta-sigma (
delta-sigma) device comprises a
transducer (2) and a
delta-sigma modulator (3), where the
transducer (2) comprises: a sensing stage (100) for detecting a property of an environment (106) and an interface stage (101), where the sensing stage (100) is configured to detect the property of the environment (106); and the
delta-sigma modulator (3) comprises: an input stage, a feed-forward low-pass filtering stage (102), an analog-to-digital
encoder (104), an unfiltered in-modulator feedback path and a low-pass filtered in-modulator feedback path; wherein the input stage is connected to the interface stage (101) and comprises two subtraction stages (113, 114) of the input stage for receiving an unfiltered in-modulator feedback
signal (109) and a low-pass filtered in-modulator feedback
signal (110) and subtracting the unfiltered in-modulator feedback
signal (109) and the low-pass filtered in-modulator feedback signal (110) from the sum of the one or more input converted signals (108), to obtain a delta
error signal (111); the analog-to-digital
encoder (104) converts the filtered delta
error signal into a digital output signal dout (t) (112); the feedback path in the unfiltered modulator converts the dout (t) (112) into a feedback signal (109) in the unfiltered modulator; the low-pass filtering modulator
internal feedback path converts the dout (t) (112) into a low-pass filtering modulator
internal feedback signal (110).
