Suppose I have a two bit quantizer with the following voltage levels: [0 0.2 0.4 0.6]. Thus 0V corresponds to bits 00 and 0.6 to bits 11. Suppose I use this quantizer in a first order delta sigma loop with a simple integrator y[n] = x[n] + y[n-1], if I use a DC input signal, say 0.25V, I will hit codes 0.2V and 0.4V with certain frequency. Hence after averaging this delta sigma ADC would work better than normal averaging ADC in terms of resolution.
In normal averaging ADC, the quantizer would only hit the code 0.2 V and averaging the values will have no effect on the resolution of the ADC.
Can we know how much resolution improvement is done by the SD ADC in this case? I am a little new to ADC's so I might have missed certain information, but all I really want to know is how much better the SD ADC works as compared to normal averaging ADC for a DC input signal in terms of resolution.
EDIT: Can someone explain how would we calculate the resolution of SD ADC in this case in time domain?
