Abstract
This paper presents a 3rd order continuous-time Delta-Sigma modulator with a tri-level quantizer, which provides 3-dB reduction of quantization noise without dynamic element matching (DEM). The tri-level DAC linearity is analyzed and it shows that a highly linear tri-level DAC can be realized in fully-differential active-RC Delta-Sigma modulator. The performance of the tri-level continuous-time Delta-Sigma modulator has been verified through simulations using a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process. It achieves 81-dB SNDR at 3.2-MS/s sampling rate and consumes 1.14-μW power with ideal amplifier.
