Abstract

An audio ΣΔ analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with the loop filter implemented by continuous-time (CT) and discrete-time (DT) circuits is presented. A tuning circuit is used to compensate for changes in the RC product due to process skew, power supply, temperature and sampling rate variation. To eliminate errors caused by inter-symbol interference (ISI) in the CT feedback DAC, a return-to-zero (RTZ) switching scheme is applied on the error current of the CT integrator. The converter is fabricated in a 0.35-μm CMOS process, and achieves 106-dB dynamic range, -99-dB THD+N.
