A third-order single-bit CTmodulator for generic biomedical applications is implemented in a 0.15-μm FD-SOI CMOS process. The overall power efficiency is attained by employing a single-bit quantizer and thus avoiding the mismatch shaping logic. The loop filter coefficients are determined using a systematic design centering approach by accounting for the integrator non-idealities. The single-bit CTmodulator consumes 110μW power from a 1.5-V power supply when clocked at 6.144MHz. The simulation results for the modulator exhibit a dynamic range of 94.4 dB and peak SNDR of 92.4 dB for 6 kHz signal bandwidth. The figure of merit (FoM) of this third-order, single-bit CTmodulator is 0.271pJ/level.
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.
