Abstract :
A 12-b sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital (A/D) converter has been designed and fabricated using a 2-μm CMOS double-poly process. The chip is part of a study in the design of mixed analog-digital circuits. A second-order Σ-Δ modulator using 1 b quantization and a subsequent moving average digital filter using no multiplies have been realized. Simulations were run to determine layout accuracy. The A/D converter occupies roughly 3/4 of a 2.22-mm×2.25-mm MOSIS tiny chip. The chip has been fabricated through MOSIS. Preliminary test results are reported
