Integrators are electronic components used to condition received analog
signals, for example prior to Analog to Digital Conversion. Wide dynamic
range, high gain and fine resolution are required of integrators and
Analog to Digital Converters in order to limit the effects of noise,
including quantization noise. Conventional integrators preceding Analog
to Digital Converters are not capable of effectively meeting these
requirements. A novel phase domain integrator that can meet effectively
these requirements and is superior to conventional integrators for a wide
range of applications is disclosed.
