This work analyses two architectures of bandpass sigma delta modulators, in order to find their sensitivity against operational amplifier finite voltage gain, having in mind a switched capacitor realization of both architectures. Expressions for the ideal signal to noise ratio and dynamic range of both architectures are found, as well as a model of the degradation of the mentioned parameters due to finite values of the voltage gain. The proposed model is then compared with non linear high level simulations including the effect of finite voltage gain. 0-7803-7596-3/02/$I7.00 02002 IEEE
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.
