  • Abstract
    A 3rd-order lowpass ΣΔ modulator operating with a 0.9-V supply voltage is realized with a standard 0.35-μm CMOS process. To achieve ultra-low-power and tiny-chip-area design, single-opamp-based ΣΔ modulator architecture is proposed and implemented with switched-opamp technique. Employing a novel opamp design with three switching output pairs, the ΣΔ modulator achieves a SNR of 75dB at an ultra low power consumption of 0.2μW, which is more than an order lower than existing designs.
