A microphone readout interface with 74-dB SNDR

چکیده
A continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta modulator (SDM) for condenser microphone readout interfaces is presented in this paper. The CT SDM can accommodate a single-ended input and has high input impedance, so that it can be directly driven by a single-ended condenser microphone. A current-sensing boosted OTA-C integrator with capacitive feedforward compensation is employed in the CT SDM to achieve high input impedance and high linearity with low power consumption. Fabricated in a 0:35-lm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process, a circuit prototype of the CT SDM achieves a peak signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio of 74.2 dB, with 10-kHz bandwidth and 801-lW power consumption.

The problem of low-voltage operation of switched-capacitor circuits is discussed, and several solutions based on using unity-gain-reset of the opamps are proposed. Due to the feedback structure, the opamps do not need to be switched off during the reset phase of the operation, and hence can be clocked at a high rate. A low-voltage modulator, incorporating pseudodifferential unity-gain-reset opa...
