High-order Cascade Multi-bit ΣΔ Modulators

  • Chapter
CMOS Telecom Data Converters

Abstract

Motivated by the commercial success of the wireline communication products, mixed-signal designers are being pushed to integrate A/D and D/A interfaces featuring 12- to 16-bit effective resolution for signal bandwidths well in excess of 1MHz [1]. These specifications must be achieved in a low-voltage scenario, making use of poor performance (and often badly characterized) devices, which decreases the “analog speed” of deep-submicron CMOS processes.
