Analog to digital converter with floating digital channel configuration

A method comprising:

• initializing a first decimator, of a first digital channel coupled to a switching component connected to an analog channel, to process a data stream input from a modulator of the analog channel through the switching component to the first digital channel;
• initializing a second decimator, of a second digital channel coupled to the switching component connected to the analog channel, to process the data stream input from the modulator of the analog channel through the switching component to the second digital channel;
• and
• in response to determining that the data stream is to be switched from being input into the first digital channel to being input into the second digital channel:
• storing a first state of the first decimator;
• and
• modifying a switching state of the switching component to switch the data stream from being input into the first digital channel to being input into the second digital channel after the switching state of the switching component inputs the data stream into the first digital channel.
