This paper discusses the design of micro power Sigma-delta modulator with oversampling technology. This Sigma-delta modulator design is paid special attention to its low power application of portable electronic system in digitizing biomedical signals such as Electro-cardiogram (ECG), Electroencephalogram (EEG) etc. [1]. A high performance, low power second order Sigma-delta modulator is more useful in analog signal acquisition system. Using Sigma-delta modulator can reduce the power consumption and cost in the whole system. The original biomedical signal can be reconstructed by simply applying the digital bit stream from the modulator output through a low-pass filter. The loop filter of this modulator has been implemented by using switch capacitor (SC) integrators and using simple circuitry consists of OpAmps, Comparator and DAC. In general, the resolution of modulator is about 10 bits for biomedical application. In this two order Sigma-delta modulator simulation results of the 1.8V sigma delta modulator show a 68 dB signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) in 4 kHz biomedical signal bandwidth and a sampling frequency equal to 1 MHz in the 0.18 μ m CMOS technology. The power consumption is 400 μ W. It is very suitable for low power application of biomedical instrument design.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a reconfigurable low-power sigma-delta modulator (SDM) for multi-standard wireless communications in a 90 nm CMOS technology. Both architectural and circuital reconfigurations are used to adapt the performance of the modulator to multi-standard applications. The feasibility of the presented solution is demonstrated using system-level simulations as well as transistor-level simulations of the modulator. HSPICE simulation results show that the proposed modulator achieves 76.8/78.9/80.8/85/89.5 dB peak signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio (SNDR) within the standards WiFi, WiMAX, WCDMA, Bluetooth and GSM with the bandwidth of 12.5 MHz, 10 MHz, 1.92 MHz, 0.5 MHz, and 250 kHz, respectively, under the power consumption of 37/37/12/5/5 mW using a single 1 V power supply.
