Abstract

A fourth-order bandpass Delta-Sigma converter with integrated LC resonators is presented in this paper. It is based on a multi-feedback architecture with a multi-bit quantizer in the main modulator path. This architecture allows achieving high-order noise-shaping maintaining modulator stability. Two integrated LC resonators with active Q-enhancement circuits are used in order to improve the overall resonator quality factor. This data converter is designed in a 0.13 μm CMOS process from STMicroelectronics. It achieves a DR of 68 dB in 30 MHz bandwidth with a 4 GHz sampling frequency.
