Abstract

This paper proposes a new architecture for an over sampling sigma-delta analog to digital converter using a current controlled oscillator (CCO). The converter consists of a CCO, two analog integrator, and a feedback D-to-A converter. Through functional and circuit simulations, an SNR of over 100 dB was obtained at 8 kHz signal bandwidth and 2.048 MHz sampling frequency. The architecture of over sampling A/D converter was used for audio and low voltage system-on chip applications. The CCO is simulated using CMOS 0.35 mum technology and a 2.5 V voltage supply.
