A chip element according to this invention can reduce the influence of parasitic capacitance and parasitic inductance when used in a GHz band. The method includes the UE setting a priority on whether to prioritize MBMS reception over unicast. A sigma-delta modulator is supplied with the NL1 less significant bits of the data word. Further, in order to increase efficiency and guard against circuit failures due to difficulties arising from transient signals, the asynchronous SAR ADC may also include a delay circuit for introducing a variable delay to the SAR ADC cycle.
