چکیده
Oversampling techniques offer several advantages for the implementation of high-resolution analog-to-digital (A/D) converters in VLSI technologies. This paper examines the application of oversampling techniques to A/D conversion at rates exceeding 1 MHz. A cascaded multibit sigma-delta (2A) modulator that substantially reduces the oversampling ratio required for 12-b conversion while avoiding stringent component matching requirements is introduced. Issues concerning the design and implementation of the modulator are presented. At a sampling rate of 50 MHz and an oversampling ratio of 24, an implementation of the modulator in a 1-pm CMOS technology achieves a dynamic range of 74 dB at a Nyquist conversion rate of 2.1 MHz. The experimental modulator is a fully differential circuit that operates from a single 5-V power supply and does not require calibration or component trimming.

متن کاملThe benefits of multibit chaotic sigma delta modulation.
Sigma delta modulation is a popular technique for high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion and digital-to-analog conversion. We investigate chaotic phenomena in multibit first-order sigma-delta modulators. Particular attention is placed on the occurrence of periodic orbits or limit cycles. These may result in idle tones audible to the listener when sigma-delta modulation is used for audio s...

Delta-sigma ( ) analog-to-digital converters (ADC’s) rely on oversampling to achieve high-resolution. By applying multibit quantization to overcom stability limitations, a circuit topology with greatly reduced oversampling requirements is developed. A 14-bit 500-kHz ADC is described that uses an oversampling ratio of only 16. A fourth-order embedded modulator, four-bit quantizer, and self-calib...
