A Novel Mash-kind Third-order Σ∆ Converter Structure

چکیده
This paper presents a novel sigma-delta modulator architecture dedicated to very low-power applications wherein third-order noise shaping is achieved with very modest constraints on the analog part. The architecture is based on an enhanced MASH structure where the feedback of every loop is the sum of its output and of the output of the following loops. The analytical model of the architecture is introduced and it is shown that the proposed architecture offers performance comparable to other third order cascaded sigma-delta modulator topologies with an analog part that is two times smaller than the one of a conventional MASH structure. Computer simulations confirm the theoretical calculations made with this structure. The chip layout of a ultra low-power 16-bit audio D–A converter using this modulator is presented. The expected power consumption of the converter is only 125μW with a power supply of 1.8V.

متن کاملClosed Loop Micromachined Inertial Sensors with Higher Order Σ∆-Modulators
Micromachined inertial sensors are often incorporated in closed loop force feedback structures; a particularly advantageous approach is based upon the inclusion of the sensing element in a sigma-delta modulator (Σ∆M) type control structure. The order of the Σ∆M, and hence the noise shaping properties, is usually limited by the dynamics of the mechanical sensing element and may be insufficient f...
