Sigma Delta modulator is widely used in ADC for kinds of micro inertial sensors, Sigma Delta ADC can be easily integrated with digital circuits. It possesses some performances of good linearity and high accuracy, while it has no such strict requirements for the match of device dimensions. In this paper, the design of third-order Sigma Delta modulator with a structure of single-loop full feed-forward is accomplished, meanwhile it uses local feedback for zero optimization to improve the shaping capacity of the modulator noise within the signal bandwidth. The OSR (over-sampling rate) of the modulator is 128 and the signal bandwidth is 10 kHz. By the system model building and simulation in the Simulink of MATALAB, the SNR is 96.3 dB and the ENOB is 15.71 bits. Then the modulator is implemented into transistor-level circuits with 0.5um process, by the simulation in Spectre of Cadence, the SNR is 88.5 dB and the ENOB is 14.41 bits. 搜

An equation-based behavioral model has been developed to predict the real performance of a single–loop single-bit Sigma Delta Modulator (SDM). By using this prediction flow, not only can the circuit specifications be acquired, including the gain, bandwidth, slew rate of the OPAMPs, and the capacitor value in the switched-capacitor circuits, but the real performance of the SDM can also be predicted. The switched-capacitor circuits according to the required circuit specifications are employed to design a fourth-order feed-forward (FF) SDM with an over-sampling ratio (OSR) of 64 and a bandwidth of 10kHz using a TSMC 0.35µm CMOS process. The measurement results reveal that the SDM with an input frequency of 2.5kHz and a supply voltage of 3.3V can achieve a dynamic range of 90dB and a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 85dB under the signal bandwidth of 10kHz and a sampling frequency of 1.28MHz, respectively. The precision of the equation-based behavioral model has been validated by experimental measurements, and its inaccuracy is less than 4%.

Aiming to be applied in silicon gyroscope, a three-order single loop feedforward modulator with three-bit quantizer and local feedback is designed in this paper. Signal band is 200 KHz, sampling rate is 25.6 MHz, OSR is 64. Ideal modulator is then designed and simulated in MATLAB, getting SNR 125dB. Non-ideal factors are also added to ideal model, DWA technology is adopted to restrain the nonlinearity of multi-bit quantizer, getting SNR 104dB. Finally, transistor-level full-difference modulator is designed and simulated in Cadence, fetting SNR 101.3dB.
