چکیده
In order to design high performance sigma-delta A/D converters, it is essential to estimate the Figure-Of-Merit in the design process. This paper describes the design of a power/performance efficient single-loop multibit sigmadelta modulator for wireless applications. Power dissipation is minimized by optimizing the architecture and by a careful design of analog circuitry. A 3 order 4-bit Σ-∆ modulator with feedforward path is designed in 0.18um CMOS process operating from 1.8V supply voltage. The modulator dissipates 8.6 mW and achieves a dynamic range of 84/95 dB over a bandwidth of 2000/100 kHz.

Quadrature delta sigma modular design with adjustable bandwidth and center frequency
In this paper, a flexible Continuous time (CT) feedforward (FF) quadrature delta sigma modulator (QDSM) with variable bandwidth (BW) is proposed. The modulator BW and center frequency (fc) are variable which can be adjusted with two separate parameters. The modulator signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) will be optimized by these parameters at every center frequency and bandwidth. The modulator BW is ch...
