Abstract: The disclosure provides a delta sigma modulator that includes a first input port and a second input port. These ports receive a differential input signal. A DAC is coupled to the first input port and the second input port, and receives a differential feedback signal and a plurality of selection signals. A loop filter generates a differential filtered signal in response to a differential error signal. The differential error signal is proportional to a difference in the differential input signal and the differential feedback signal. A quantizer generates a quantized output signal in response to the differential filtered signal. A modified DWA block coupled between the quantizer and the DAC, generates the plurality of selection signals in response to a chop clock, a regular clock, the quantized output signal and a plurality of selection index signals. A selection index signal is dependent on previously generated plurality of selection signals.
