Sine-shaping mixer for continuous-time ΣΔ ADCs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sine-shaping of feedback DAC current in continuous-time Σ∆ ADCs is an effective solution to enhance their immunity to clock jitter. In this paper, a simple mixer circuit for producing a sine-shaped output in continuous-time Σ∆ ADCs is introduced. The proposed solution does not need extra clock source or synchronization circuit, as the mixer utilizes the same clock applied to the comparator. It is also shown the that the proposed circuit is immune to temperature and process variations. Simulation results of the proposed circuit implemented in 130nm CMOS process show good agreement with the expected results.

Two-step continuous-time incremental sigma-delta ADC
A two-step continuous-time (CT) incremental sigma-delta (ΣΔ) ADC, which enhances the performance of conventional CT incremental ΣΔ ADCs, is proposed. By pipelining two second-order CT incremental ΣΔ ADCs, the proposed two-step architecture can achieve high resolution without sacrificing the conversion rate. Compared to other alternatives, the two-step CT incremental ΣΔ ADC exhibits the freedom ...
متن کاملA continuous-time VCO-assisted VCO-based ΣΔ modulator with 76.6dB SNDR and 10MHz BW
In this paper, a new VCO-assisted VCO-based sigmadelta (ΣΔ) modulator is proposed to improve the linearity of the VCO-based quantizer. The assistant network in the digital feedforward path reduces the input swing of the VCO-based quantizer in the main path, and then adds it together through the digital cancellation path to keep the same signal before and after quantization. Moreover, the merit ...

This paper presents innovative architectures of hybrid Continuous-Time/Discrete-Time (CT/DT) cascade ΣΔ Modulators (ΣΔMs) made up of a front-end CT stage and a back-end DT stage. In addition to increasing the digitized signal bandwidth as compared to conventional ΣΔMs, the proposed topologies take advantage of the CT nature of the front-end ΣΔM stage, by embedding anti-aliasing filtering as wel...
