A Novel Full Differential Feedforward Fourth-Order Bandpass Sigma-Delta Modulator

In this paper,in order to reduce power consumption and chip area,as well as to improve the performance of the bandpass sigma-delta modulator,a novel full differential feedforward fourth-order bandpass sigma-delta modulator was proposed. It used a resonator based on Salo architecture,which employed doublesampling and double-delay technique. The results show that the proposed modulator can achieve lower power consumption and a lower capacitive load than the conventional bandpass modulators on the platform of Simulink. The circuit is implemented with TSMC0. 18 μm CMOS process and operates at a sampling frequency of 20 MHz, 80 MHz effective sampling frequency. Furthermore,it consumes 21. 2 mW from a 1. 8 V supply. The simulated peak signal-to-noise ratio( SNR) is 85. 9 dB and the dynamic range( DR) is 91 dB with 200 kHz bandwidth.
