Abstract

Switched-current oversampling Δ-Σ A/D converters are the ideal choice for mixed analog/digital design due to their complete compatibility with digital CMOS process and high tolerance to process variation. This paper discusses all the aspects of switched-current oversampling A/D converters, including structures, circuits, and practical issues. Three different modulator structures and six different types of switched-current circuits were used in our design and implementation with an emphasis on low-voltage operation. Four 3.3-V oversampling A/D converters were implemented and measured, and another four 3.3-V and one 1.2-V oversampling A/D converters were also implemented but are yet to be measured
