Abstract

In the previous chapter, we have presented the design and implementation details of a 3rd order 4-bit continuous-time delta-sigma (CTΔΣ) ADC which uses a high-speed filter topology. However, its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) are limited to 65.5 and 65 dB at −0.5 dBFS input, respectively. The main reason for this is that for large input signals, the non-linearity of the 4-bit feedback DAC (DAC1) causes harmonic components and quantization noise to fold into the signal band, which increases the in-band noise. In order to improve the SNR and SNDR of the modulator, the non-linearity of the multi-bit DAC1 must be tackled. This chapter discusses how to do this, and in particular, how to improve the high frequency linearity of DAC1 without degrading the stability of the modulator.

Fußnoten
1
In this work, we prefer to call it an error-switching (ES) technique because it more suitably describes the working principle of the scheme.
 
2
The timing of DAC2 and quantizer, which have not been modified, are shown in Figs. 3.​27b and 4.​4, respectively.
