In one or more embodiments, a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (CTDSM) includes one or more integrators including one or more of a feed-forward loop or a feedback loop and including a one or more capacitive feed-ins to enable insertion of a signal at the outputs of the one or more integrators. The coefficients of one or more of the feed-forward loop, the feedback loop, or the capacitive feed-ins may be configured to shape a signal transfer function of the CTDSM. Additionally, the capacitive feed-ins remove signal components from the integrator outputs, reducing noise and reducing the power consumed by the CTDSM. In one or more embodiments, coefficients of the plurality of capacitive feed-ins may be selected to limit peaking in the signal transfer function (STF) of the CTDSM.
