  • Abstract
    The stability of a single-quantizer ΣΔ modulator in terms of its noise transfer function is studied. It is shown that stability is conditional upon the input signal, and an explicit formula for the set of all inputs which result in stable behavior is given. In addition, the authors compare the set of modulators stable with zero input to the sets given by several existing rules of thumb and find that these criteria are neither necessary, nor in some cases sufficient, to ensure stability
