A 1-V 60-μW 85-dB dynamic range continuous-time third-order sigma-delta modulator

A 1-V third order one-bit continuous-time (CT) ΣΔ modulator is presented. Designed in the SMIC mixed-signal 0.13-μm CMOS process, the modulator utilizes active RC integrators to implement the loop filter. An efficient circuit design methodology for the CT ΣΔ modulator is proposed and verified. Low power dissipation is achieved through the use of two-stage class A/AB amplifiers. The presented modulator achieves 81.4-dB SNDR and 85-dBdynamic range in a 20-kHz bandwidth with an over sampling ratio of 128. The total power consumption of the modulator is only 60μW from a 1-V power supply and the prototype occupies an active area of 0.12 mm~2.     

A 1.1 mW 87 dB dynamic range △∑ modulator for audio applications

This paper presents a 1.1 mW 87 dB dynamic range third orderΔΣmodulator implemented in 0.18μm CMOS technology for audio applications.By adopting a feed-forward multi-bit topology,the signal swing at the output of the first integrator can be suppressed.A simple current mirror single stage OTA with 34 dB DC gain working under 1 V power supply is used in the first integrator.The prototype modulator achieves 87 dB DR and 83.8 dB peak SNDR across the bandwidth from 100 Hz to 24 kHz with 3 kHz input signal.
