Title
A Low Power Third Order Delta-Sigma Modulator For Digital Audio Applications
Abstract
A low-power delta-sigma modulator for Digital-Audio is presented, which employs tri-level quantization to achieve 97dB dynamic range, over a 25 KHz bandwidth. The modulator has third-order single loop CIFB architecture as cascade of integrators with feedback and feed-forward paths. A new Operational amplifier is designed which is at least 2-times more power efficient than a regular folded-cascode amplifier. A new latched comparator with merged pre-amplification and regenerative paths is designed for the tri-level quantizer, which has very low power consumption as well as high speed and sensitivity. The modulator is implemented in a standard 0.6um CMOS process. Its supply voltage ranges in 3.0-3.5V and its power consumption is 1.5mw from a 3.0V supply.
