چکیده
An advanced design methodology using a combination of behavioral models and transistor level models is presented in this paper. This methodology is very interesting for complex mixed-signal IC design, reducing the simulation time and improving the design flexibility. In order to validate the methodology proposed, a High-Speed Bandpass Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma Modulator is modeled. This modulator samples at high-IF signals, performing the direct conversion in the modern RF frontend receivers.

Nonidealities Study of a Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma Modulator Using VHDL-AMS Modelling
In this paper, a complete high-speed Continuous-Time Bandpass Delta-Sigma modulator for digital receiver applications is modeled, using VHDL-AMS. The main Continuous-Time DeltaSigma modulator’s nonidealities such as excess loop delay, clock jitter and multi-bit feedback DAC element mismatch in the modulator loop are also modeled and their effects evaluated. An accurate understanding of these no...
متن کاملVHDL-AMS Modeling of Continuous-Time Complex Bandpass Delta Sigma Modulator
Abstrac tContinuous-Time delta sigma modulators (CT ∆ΣM), by their nature, are mixed-signal systems. That fact creates a discontinuity in the traditional IC design flow which assumes that “discrete” and “continuous” time domain designs require separate design tools. In this work, we present a top level behavioral approach of modeling CT complex Bandpass (CBP) ∆ΣM using VHDL-AMS language. The CT...

In this paper, a cascade Sigma-Delta (ΣΔ) Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) for multistandard radio receiver was presented. This converter is supposed to be able to support GSM, UMTS, Wifi and WiMAX communication standards. The Sigma-Delta modulator makes use of 4 bit quantizer and Data-Weighted-Averaging (DWA) technique to attain high linearity over a wide bandwidth. A top-down design methodol...
