  • Abstract
    This paper presents a third-order Sigma-Delta modulator that uses only two operational amplifiers. A fully digital solution reduces both amplifiers output swings. This design achieves complex conjugate zeros that allows obtaining a signal-to-noise ratio of about 8 dB better than having all the zeros placed at z = 1. Behavioral level simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
