Author(s): Kaiwen Zhou, Jianhong Zhou, Yijie Li, Yuying Li, Tian Dong, Zhiliang Hong, Jiawei Xu

Abstract:

A high-precision, direct-digitization sensor readout (DD-RO) based on a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (CT- $\Delta \Sigma $ M) is presented. The proposed DD-RO incorporates several key innovations to enhance performance. First, a pseudo-differential current-balancing integrator (PD-CBI) significantly extends the linear input range, whereas its intrinsically limited common-mode input range and CMRR are …

An 18.3-μW 108.3-dB DR Discrete-Time Delta-Sigma Modulator Using a Loop Filter Auto-Shift Technique

An 18.3-μW 108.3-dB DR Discrete-Time Delta-Sigma Modulator Using a Loop Filter Auto-Shift Technique 150 150
Author(s): Cong Wei, Ziqiang Peng, Lijie Huang, Jinze Lai, Rongshan Wei, Xiaoqiang Lu, Zhichao Tan

Abstract:

This article presents a discrete-time, third-order, single-loop, 17-level delta-sigma modulator (DSM) for high-dynamic-range sensor measurement applications, which employs a loop filter auto-shift (LFAS) technique. It uses an on-chip 1.5-bit Schmitt monitor to determine whether the input amplitude is large or small. The DSM automatically shifts to loop filter A for …

A Low-EMI, High-DR Class-D Audio Amplifier With Double-Sided Voltage-Boosting Modulation

A Low-EMI, High-DR Class-D Audio Amplifier With Double-Sided Voltage-Boosting Modulation 150 150
Author(s): Jhuang-Wei Cyue, Tai-Haur Kuo

Abstract:

This article presents a digital-input class-D audio amplifier (CDA) that employs a double-sided voltage-boosting (DSVB) modulation scheme, integrating a capacitively coupled chopper amplifier (CCCA) with a single-inductor buck–boost power stage. The CCCA achieves a high dynamic range (DR) due to its very low noise floor and is implemented with …

A 10 to 40 GHz Reflection-Mode N-Path Filter

A 10 to 40 GHz Reflection-Mode N-Path Filter 150 150
Author(s): Cody J. Ellington, Sandeep Hari, Brian A. Floyd

Abstract:

A bandpass reflection-mode N-path filter (RMNF) with 2-GHz bandwidth and 10 to 40 GHz center-frequency tuning is presented. The design includes a broadband hybrid coupler, N-path reflectors, comprising four-phase passive mixers terminated with third-order in-phase and quadrature-phase active baseband loads, and a broadband clock-generation network. The reflectors realize an in-band open circuit …
