Real Performance

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%.

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

A high-linearity Multi-stAge noise SHaping (MASH) 2–2–2 sigma–delta modulator (SDM) for 20-MHz signal bandwidth (BW) was presented. Multi-bit quantizers were employed in each stage to provide a sufficiently low quantization noise level and thus improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance of the modulator. Mismatch noise in the internal multi-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) was analyzed in detail, and an alternative randomization scheme based on multi-layer butterfly-type network was proposed to suppress spurious tones in the output spectrum. Fabricated in a 0.18-[Formula: see text]m single–poly 4-metal Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process, the modulator occupied a chip area of 0.45[Formula: see text]mm2, and dissipated a power of 28.8[Formula: see text]mW from a 1.8-V power supply at a sampling rate of 320[Formula: see text]MHz. The measured spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) was 94[Formula: see text]dB where 17-dB improvement was achieved by applying the randomizers for multi-bit DACs in the first two stages. The peak signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) was 76.9[Formula: see text]dB at [Formula: see text]1 dBFS @ 2.5-MHz input, and the figure-of-merit (FOM) was 126[Formula: see text]pJ/conv.
