Abstract

A new second order sigma delta modulator with the reduced number of op-amps, to decrease static power consumption and area, is presented for voice band applications such as codecs. This switched capacitor modulator uses reused capacitor technique to reduce the input thermal noise and circuit area. It improves the DR of modulator by almost 0.5 bit. The modulator shows 87 dB DR for voice band while consuming 125 μW from a 2.5 V supply.
