Abstract

This paper presents a detailed survey of the impact of circuit non-idealities of bandpass sigma-delta modulators (BP-ΣΔM) affecting the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) and therefor the resolution. The presented results have been developed using SIMULINK behavior simulations of a second order BP-ΣΔM. A behavior simulation has the advantage of a fast simulation of any BP-ΣΔM structure and provides a deeper understanding of the influence on the SNDR. The determined parameters are the sampling jitter AT, the sampling or kT/C-noise, and the OTA non-idealities finite DC gain A_v0, gain-bandwidth GBW, slew-rate SR, and OTA-noise V_n.OTA, which are relevant in a switched capacitor realization of the BP-ΣΔM. The simulated results are compared to theoretical values using transfer functions.
