چکیده

the rapid scaling in modern cmos technology has motivated the researchers to design new analog-to-digital converter (adc) architectures that can properly work in lower supply voltage. an exchanging the data quantization procedure from the amplitude to the time domain, can be a promising alternative well adapt with the technology scaling. this paper is going to review the recent development in time-based noise-shaping adcs, so-called as time-based sigma-delta modulators. two of the most important architectures named as voltage-controlled oscillator (vco) -based and time-to-digital (tdc) -based sigma-delta modulators (sdms) are selected to be reviewed in this paper. the intrinsic advantages and limitations of the these structures are briefly explored. to confirm the effectiveness of the time-mode sigma-delta modulators, a tdc-based continuous-time sigma-delta modulator is proposed as an example and the related simulation results performed in matlab are illustrated. the simulation results show that the proposed modulator achieves a dynamic range of 67 db over 30 mhz with the loop filter of order 2. the proposed tdc-based sigma-delta modulator shows the superiority of the time quantization approach in designing the wideband and less complex continuous-time sdms.

Decrease in Hardware Consumption and Quantization Noise of Digital Delta-Sigma Modulators and Implementation by VHDL

A new structure is presented for digital delta-sigma modulator (DDSM). Novel architecture decreases hardware consumption, output quantization noise and spurs in Comparison to previous architectures. In order to reduce the delay, power consumption and increase maximum working frequency, the pipelining technique and the carry skip adder are used. Simulation proposed architecture shows that the qu...

Quantization Noise Conditioning Techniques for Digital Delta-Sigma Modulators

This paper presents an overview of outstanding theoretical problems in delta-sigma modulator based electronic digital-to-analog circuits and outlines quantization noise conditioning techniques that are being employed to address these problems. Both the problems and the conditioning techniques are described in the context of a special class of electronic circuits called frequency synthesizers.

Time-Interleaved Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma Modulators

ABSTRACT In this thesis, a method of time-interleaving continuous-time delta-sigma modulators is investigated. The derivation of the modulator starting from a discrete-time timeinterleaved structure is presented. With various simplifications, the resulting modulator has only a single-path of integrators, making it robust to DC offsets. A third-order lowpass continuous-time time-interleaved delt...

A behavioral simulation tool for continuous-time delta sigma modulators

Circuit–level simulation of 16 modulators is a time– consuming task (taking one or more days for meaningful results). While there are a great variety of techniques and tools that speed up the simulations for discrete–time (DT)16 modulators, there is no rigorous methodology implemented in a tool to efficiently simulate and design the continuous– time (CT) counterpart. Yet, in todays low–power, h...

VHDL-AMS models for continuous-time Delta–Sigma modulators

Delta-Sigma modulation using switched capacitor (SC) techniques is an increasingly popular means of performing A/D (or D/A) conversion in modern applications. The main problem with SC-techniques though is the limitation of the maximum sampling frequency. For wideband applications such as VDSL a continuous time implementation is a better solution. However, the simulation of continuous–time 16 mo...
