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.

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%.

In this paper, in order to enhance resolution and guarantee the stability of the micro-gyroscope, a high-resolution lowpass sigma-delta modulator is proposed. It employs single-loop fourth-order and full differential structure. The simulated result on the Simulink platform shows that the SNDR is 105.4dB and the effective number of bits (ENOB) is 17.22bits. The entire circuits are implemented with 0.5μm CMOS process. The simulated result on Cadence shows that the SNDR is 99.7dB. The modulator operates at a sampling frequency of 25.6MHz and the signal bandwidth is 100kHz with 128 oversampling ratio (OSR). The dynamic range (DR) is 120 dB approximately and the SNDR changes linearly with the input level.

Σ-Δ modulator structure is increasingly becoming complex, it is very necessary to improve the design efficiency by the level of behavior model in the simulation.

This paper presents a second-order discrete-time Sigma-Delta (SD) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with over 80 dB Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), which is applied in a signal conditioning IC for automotive piezo-resistive pressure sensors. To reduce the flicker noise of the structure, choppers are used in every stage of the high gain amplifiers. Besides, to reduce the required area and power, only the CIC filter structure is adopted as a decimation filter. This filter has a configurable structure that can be applied to different data rates and input signal bandwidths. The proposed ADC was fabricated and measured in a 0.18-µm CMOS process. Due to the application of only a CIC filter, the total active area of the SD-ADC and reference generator is 0.49 mm2 where the area of the decimation filter is only 0.075 mm2. For the input signal bandwidth of 1.22 kHz, it achieved over 80 dB SNR in a 2.5 MHz sampling frequency while consuming 646 µW power.

This paper implements a complementary Class-C digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with differential transistor pairs. The transistors are dynamically biased by feedback loops separately benefiting the robust oscillation start-up with low power consumption. By optimizing three switched capacitor arrays and employing fractional capacitor array with sigma-delta modulator (SDM), the presented DCO operates from 3.22 GHz to 5.45 GHz with a 51.5% frequency tuning range and 0.1 ppm frequency resolution. The design was implemented in a 65 nm CMOS process with power consumption of 2.8 mA at 1.2 V voltage supply. Measurement results show that the phase noise is about −126 dBc/Hz at 3 MHz offset from a 5.054 GHz carrier frequency with the 1/f3 corner frequency of 260 KHz. The resulting FoMT achieves 199.4 dBc/Hz and varies less than 2 dB across the frequency tuning range.
