Is possible to implement a 20 bit sigma delta on the PSoC 4100?

Rusty,
To my understanding it is not practical.
In theory, you could create a PGA with a gain of 256 and an adjustable offset. This would allow to amplify the input signal into the 12-bit range of the ADC.
Theory is good but control of the gain and offset controls and input noise would be very difficult.

Rusty,
Infineon doesn't offer a PSoC4 with 20-bit resolution ADC. However they do offer PSoC5LPs with a 20-bit Delta-Sigma ADC.

Thanks but maybe I did not ask the question correctly, I understand that PSoC4 does not have a 20-bit ADC and the customer cannot change to a different PSoC.
Is there a way, through double/multiple sampling, that you can achieve the same or close to the same 20-bit resolution using a 12-bit ADC in the PSoC4?
