The paper deals with a novel approach to processing of pressure sensor signals. A bandpass sigma-delta modulator is used for this purpose. This technique is relatively new and it is not used widely, because this kind of modulator is usually utilized for wireless and video applications. Since the bandpass sigma-delta modulator works within its defined band it is resistant to offsets of its subci...

Sigma Delta ADC is better than Nyquist Rate Converters as they give better Resolution with low signal bandwidth. Sigma-delta ADCs are traditionally used in audio applications ranging up to 20 KHz. ADC based on sigma-delta modulators is attractive for VLSI implementation because they are less dependent to circuit non-idealities like clock Jitter and component mismatch. However, non-idealities be...

This paper introduces a new architecture for sensor interface circuits using a delta-sigma modulator. The three-level force feedback allows the use of a digital compensator to stabilize the loop. A 3rd-order delta-sigma structure shapes the opamp noise and allows two-chip implementation with high loop gain at low frequencies.

This paper brief the use of very high precision Noise shaping sigma delta modulation techniques for high applications that require a signal-to-noise ratio and high resolution. A continuous-time delta-sigma A/D modulator with OSR of 40, signal bandwidth of 1.5625 MHz and clocked at 500MHz is implemented. This achieves 78 dB SNR and 12 bits of resolution.

The design of single loop two-order Delta-Sigma modulator with feed forward structure is presented in this thesis. Oversampled analog-to-digital converters based on second-order delta-sigma modulation are attractive for VLSI implementation because they are especially tolerant of circuit nonidealities and component mismatch. The noise shaping and oversampling are used in this modulator, the over...

Modulator is one of the most significant building-blocks in integrated discrete time component used in Sigma-Delta (ΣΔ) analog to digital converter. In this paper a novel structure of a switched-capacitor discrete time first order modulator Sigma-Delta is implemented at a supply voltage of 3 V. In addition, our design uses a Miller operational transconductance amplifier topology for low power c...

This paper presents a design and analysis of electromechanical sigma-delta modulator for MEMS gyroscope, which enables us to control the proof mass and to obtain an exact digital output without additional A/D conversion. The system structure and the circuit realization of the sigma-delta modulation are simpler than those of the analog sensing and feedback circuit. Based on the electrical sigma-...

Sinusoidal signal can be used as stimulus to test static and dynamic parameters of ADC. A sigma-delta modulation based sinusoidal signal generator for ADC testing in SOC was introduced. The generator was built on the same chip with ADC. A numerical resonator generated a sinusoidal signal which was converted to a single bit stream by a sigma-delta modulator. Due to oversampling, the quantization...

In a digital class D power amplifier, the distortion is introduced into the input signal being amplified in power stage, due to the effect of power supply noise. A method used to eliminate the distortion is presented in the paper. This method is adding correction factors to all integrators of Delta-Sigma modulator, and introducing power supply noise to the input of the class D power amplifier a...
