In this brief, a fully differential comparator-based switched-capacitor (CBSC) second-order delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator is presented. To ensure differential operation, the CBSC ΔΣ modulator utilizes a common-mode feedback circuit to balance the pull-up current and the pull-down current in the ramp generator. This modulator has been fabricated in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process. The active area is 0.21 mm 2 , and the power consumption, excluding output buffers, is 0.42 mW from a 1.8-V supply. This modulator achieves 65.3-dB signal-to-noiseplus-distortion ratio and an input dynamic range of 71 dB when sampled at 2.56 MS/s (OSR = 64).Index Terms-Common-mode feedback (CMFB), comparatorbased switched-capacitor (CBSC) circuits, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator, fully differential.
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.
