A sigma-delta digital/analog converter implemented in 0.6-CMOS uses a 6-bit modulator together with a segmented noise-shaped scrambling scheme to achieve 113-dB A-weighted dynamic range over a 20-kHz bandwidth. A continuous-time output stage is used to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio in a 9.1-mm 2 die area. The output stage uses a dual return-to-zero circuit that eliminates errors caused by intersymbol interference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
