Popis: We present design techniques for the realization of compact, low-power CT- ΣΔ-ADCs in ultra-deep-submicron CMOS: A resonant single-opamp third-order integrator with loss compensation, an inverter-based opamp with digitally assisted biasing and common mode control, a pseudo-differential modulator topology with quasi-1.5-bit quantization, a jitter-noise-reduction DAC with NRZ pulse shape, a mismatch-tolerant IIR quantizer, linearized single-ended FIR-DACs with passive DT compensation, and a rail-to-rail dynamic latched comparator. A highly compact 41.4 fJ/conv.-step, 77 dB-SFDR, 1.1 V ADC has been implemented to prove these concepts. The entire active analog circuitry in this minimalistic third-order modulator consists of only ten CMOS inverters.
