A Hybrid 4th-Order 4-Bit Continuous-Time ΔΣ Modulator in 65-nm CMOS Technology
This paper reports a fourth-order continuous-time (CT) delta-sigma modulator (DSM) that features a single biquad integrator, a passive integrator and an active integrator. A benefit is the low power consumption using only two opamps in comparison to 4 power-hungry opamps in the conventional fourth-order DSM. The proposed CT-DSM employs two Miller compensation opamps to satisfy the gain bandwidth (GBW) requirement and the loop gain requirement. In this design, the GBW is only 1.65 times higher than the sampling frequency and the open loop DC gain is much higher than the oversampling rate. A 4-bit flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and two feedback digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are employed in this design to complete the CT DSM including the feedback paths. The effective number of bits of the proposed CT-DSM is 14 bits with a peak SNR of 90.5 dB. The proposed design has a maximum bandwidth of 2 MHz with a power consumption less than 3 mW. Thus, it achieves an excellent figure of merit around 175 dB compared to existing state-of-the-art.
