A third-order CT 16 ADC that replaces the multi-bit quantizer and feedback DAC by a pulsewidth modulation (PWM) generator and time-to-digital converter (TDC) is implemented in 65 nm CMOS technology. The TDC provides a 50-level binary output code and a time-quantized feedback pulse to the modulator. It is shown that the TDC can achieve 11 bit linearity in time steps without calibration or dynamic element matching. The modulator achieves 68 dB DR in 20 MHz BW, consumes 10.5 mW and occupies 0.15 mm 2 .
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.
