  • Abstract
    This article presents the design and experimental results of a 3rd order lowpass ΣΔ modulator using a continuous-time loopfilter. The modulator was implemented in a 0.5µm 3.3 V CMOS technology with standard threshold voltages. The ΣΔ modulator feature 80dB dynamic range and a resolution of 12 bit in the bandwidth of 25kHz. The measured power consumption is only 250 µW from a single 1.5V supply.
