Q-enhancement with on-chip inductor optimization for reconfigurable Δ-Σ radio-frequency ADC
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper details on-chip inductor optimization for a reconfigurable continuous-time delta-sigma (Δ-Σ) modulator based radio-frequency analog-to-digital converter. Inductor optimisation enables the Δ-Σ modulator with Q enhanced LC tank circuits employing a single high Q-factor on-chip inductor and lesser quantizer levels thereby reducing the circuit complexity for excess loop delay, power dissipation and dynamic element matching. System level simulations indicate at a Q-factor of 75 ΔΣ modulator with a 3-level quantizer achieves dynamic ranges of 106, 82 dB and 84 dB for RFID, TETRA, and Galileo over bandwidths of 200 kHz, 10 MHz and 40 MHz respectively. Keywords-Q-enhancement, RF delta-sigma, on-chip inductor.
