Delta-sigma (ΔΣ; or sigma-delta, ΣΔ) modulation is an oversampling method for encoding signals into low bit depth digital signals at a very high sample-frequency as part of the process of delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs).
English: Delta-sigma modulation loop model with quantization noise in the Laplace (s) domain. Integration become 1/s, and the quantization process can be modeled as simply adding noise. Integration become 1/s, and the quantization process can be modeled as simply adding noise.
Sinc N filters are commonly used with delta-sigma modulation ADCs just prior to downsampling to the desired output data rate (ODR) of . A sinc N filter's frequency response will lie under a –20·N dB per decade envelope, so higher orders have steeper roll off for cutting out more high frequency noise, but will also have a lower -3 dB frequency .
This results in a broadband dynamic range of only 7.78 dB, but it is not consistent among frequency bands, and in the lowest frequencies (the audible range) the dynamic range is much greater — over 100 dB. Noise shaping is inherently built into the delta-sigma modulators. The 1-bit converter is the basis of the DSD format by Sony.
To achieve high signal-to-noise ratio, delta modulation must use oversampling techniques, that is, the analog signal is sampled at a rate several times higher than the Nyquist rate. Derived forms of delta modulation are continuously variable slope delta modulation, delta-sigma modulation, and differential modulation.

The 2-level waveform is derived using pulse-width modulation (PWM), pulse-density modulation (sometimes referred to as pulse frequency modulation), sliding mode control (more commonly called self-oscillating modulation. [3]) or discrete-time forms of modulation such as delta-sigma modulation. [4]
