Abstract

A wide bandwidth, high sample rate 3rd order continuous-time ΔΣ modulator using VCO-based integrators is presented. Non-idealities caused by VCOs at the modulator frontend are addressed using both circuit-and architecture-level techniques. Fabricated in 65nm CMOS, the prototype modulator operates at 1.28GS/s and achieves a dynamic range of 75dB, SNR of 71dB in 50MHz bandwidth, while consuming 38mW of total power.
