A fully differential feedback third-order continuous-time sigma-delta modulator suitable for Mega Hertz wireless communication is presented. Some design optimizations mainly regarding power consumption are demonstrated. The proposed single-bit modulator clocked at 128 MHz achieves 2 MHz signal bandwidth, 11 bits of resolution, 68 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 66 dB dynamic range. Designed in 0.18 μm...
A fourth-order feedforward continuous-time (CT) delta-sigma modulator is presented. The modulator takes an active-RC OpAmp as the first stage because of the high-linearity requirement, and the other three stages are composed by Gm-C integrators. In feedforward topology, a higher out-of-band NTF gain could be taken for better performance. As we know, the most important part in the feedforward CT ΔΣ...
A wide-bandwidth low-power CT ΔΣ modulator with 10MHz signal bandwidth is implemented in TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS process in this paper. To realize such application scenario, the proposed modulator comprises a third-order active-RC loop filter and a 4-bit internal quantizer operating at 320 MHz clock frequency. To reduced clock jitter sensitivity, non-return-to-zero (NRZ) DAC pulse shaping is used. The excess...
A 100μW, 13bit ADC used for sensor array applications is presented in this paper. The ADC employs an extended counting architecture in which the residual error from a first-order incremental ΣΔ modulator is encoded by a cyclic ADC to achieve high accuracy at a relatively high speed. Hardware reuse technique is utilized for low power consumption and small silicon area. The prototype ADC is implemented...
Quadrature bandpass SigmaDelta modulators based on polyphase filters are suited for analog-to-digital conversion in GSM/EDGE low-IF receivers. This paper presents a continuous-time quadrature bandpass sigma-delta (SigmaDelta) modulator with a chain of integrators with weighted capacitive feedforward summation (CICFF) topology - which is a desirable solution for implementation in low power applications...
This paper describes the design and implementation of a reconfigurable low power 180-nm CMOS cascade Σ-Δ modulator for multi-standard wireless communication. Both architectural and circuital reconfiguration is used to adapt its performance to multi-standard applications. Post layout simulation reveals that the prototype achieves 86.82/54.88/66.51d B peak signal-to-(noise+distortion) ratio within bandwidth...
While the CMOS analog circuits can be designed with the minimum-gate-length of the fabrication process in the alpha-power law MOSFET model, the length of a MOSFET gate has been chosen to be a larger scale than the minimum-gate-length in the conventional Shockleypsilas square model. In this paper, we describe a 6-b 100 MSPS CMOS current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with the alpha-power...
