Abstract :
This third-order ΔΣ modulator, suitable for high-resolution low-power sensor systems, consumes 140μW to obtain 84dB SNDR with OSR=16 and 100kHz signal bandwidth. The achieved FoM is 54fJ/conversion-step. The DACs use a single resistive divider to generate 32 differential 5b reference voltages. The proposed scheme totally cancels the error caused by gradient in the resistance values. Resistor sizes and layout of the resistive DAC limit the high-order distortion terms and obtain an SFDR of 96dB at -4dBFS without the need for digital calibration or dynamic element matching (DEM).
