This paper describes a fourth order switched-current EA modulator for baseband channel applications. It is implemented in a standard 3.3V 0.8 pm CMOS technology. The die area is 4 mm2 and the overall power consumption is less than 75 mW when oversampling 16x an input signal of 600 kHz to achieve 8-bit resolution. The modulator is used as a test vehicle for the integration of the baseband interface for multi-mode RF transceivers in a low cost digital technology using current-mode techniques.
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.
