A DC measurement IC consists of an instrumentation amplifier, a 4th-order [Sigma][Delta] modulator, a digital filter and a serial interface. The input amplifier uses chopper stabilization and multipath feedforward compensation to achieve 130nV pp in 10Hz and <70nV/ deg.C offset drift in 0.6 um CMOS.


20.2 A 2.5MSample/s Multi-Bit [Sigma][Delta] CMOS ADC with
95dB SNR

A multi-bit [Sigma][Delta] ADC converter in 0.65 um CMOS employs speed-optimized data weighted averaging, resulting in 60MHz clock and 2.5MSample/s output rate. The converter has 95dB SNR, 89dB SNDR and 97dB dynamic range. It consumes 295mW at 5V and occupies 5.3mm 2.

A 16b 2.5MHz output rate ADC achieves 90dB SNR and 102dB SFDR. A 2-1-1 cascaded [Sigma][Delta] modulator with 4b quantizers and bi-directional DWA makes all quantization noise contributions negligible at 8x oversampling. The 24.8mm 2 chip in 0.5 um CMOS including decimator and VREF, consumes 270mW at 5V.

Philips Research Lab, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

[Sigma][Delta] modulation with integrated quadrature mixing is used for A/D conversion of a 10.7MHz IF input signal. The baseband output signal has maximum carrier-to-noise ratios of 92dB in 9kHz (AM) and 77dB in 200kHz (FM), and the IM3 is >75dB. Including down conversion and decimation filtering, the A/D converter occupies 2mm 2 in 0.35 um digital CMOS.


20.5 A Two-Path Bandpass [Sigma][Delta] Modulator with Extended Noise Shaping
10:45 AM

Stanford Univ., Stanford, CA

A 2MHz 3-stage bandpass [Sigma][Delta] modulator uses 0.25 um CMOS. Bandpass noise shaping in the third stage of the modulator achieves 75dB dynamic range with 70dB maximum SNDR. The active area of the experimental circuit is 2.8mm 2, and it dissipates 140mW at 2.5V.


20.6 A 120dB Multibit SC Audio DAC with Second-Order Noise Shaping

A multibit SC DAC employing second-order dynamic element matching (DEM) achieves 117dB SNR and -100dB total harmonic distortion over a 40kHz bandwidth. The advanced DEM technique guarantees no noise floor modulation, and has a high tolerance to element mismatch.
