Abstract

A cascade switched-capacitor ΔΣ analog-to-digital converter, suitable for WLANs, is presented. It uses a double-sampling scheme with single set of DAC capacitors, and an improved low-distortion architecture with an embedded-adder integrator. The proposed architecture eliminates one active stage, and reduces the output swings in the loop-filter and hence the non-linearity. It was fabricated with a 0.18um CMOS process. The prototype chip achieves 75.5 dB DR, 74 dB SNR, 73.8 dB SNDR, -88.1 dB THD, and 90.2 dB SFDR over a 10 MHz signal band with an FoM of 0.27 pJ/conv-step.
