A low-power high-resolution Delta-Sigma modulator for audio codec, designed in Global-Foundries BCD 0.18μm 1P4M CMOS process, is presented. The modulator employs a fourth-order single-loop feedforward topology with a 3bit-quantizer. A novel structure of Switched-Opamp (SO) utilizing current-starvation and Slew-Rate (SR) boosting is adopted to meet the requirements of high performance and fast settling time. The opamp-shared technique and two-step summation are used to reduce power dissipation further. Meanwhile, to improve the resolution, chopper-stabilization (CHS) and pseudo data-weighted-averaging (PDWA) circuits are employed in this paper. The proposed modulator achieves 3.86mW power consumption and 106.4dB Signal-to-Noise Distortion Ratio (SNDR) with a FOM value of 0.56pJ/conv.-step at a supply voltage of 3.3V and a high working frequency of 6.25MHz, which is suitable for audio applications. |
