An apparatus adapted to convert an input analog signal to an output
digital signal includes means adapted to convert a first digital value of
the output signal of the apparatus to a first analog value (IN1), wherein
the first digital value is emitted by the apparatus at a first time
instant, and also means for feeding back the first analog value to the
input of the apparatus. The apparatus includes first means adapted to
determine the difference between the first analog value and a second
analog value (IN) of the input signal at a second time instant successive
to the first time instant. The apparatus also includes second means
adapted to convert the difference to a digital value and third means
adapted to add or subtract the digital value of the difference to or from
said first digital value by obtaining the output digital signal.
