  • Abstract
    This paper presents a continuous-time 2-0 cascade delta-sigma modulator. The first stage of the modulator is a second-order continuous-time modulator with low-distortion structure. The second stage is a pipeline ADC with reduced sample rate. Matlab simulation shows it can achieve maximum SQNR of 77 dB with OSR=8 for the first stage and OSR=2 for the second stage. Circuit level implementation of the modulator is given and the effects of circuit nonideal properties, such as RC time-constant variation, finite opamp gain and bandwidth, on the modulator performance are discussed.
