  • Abstract
    In this paper, a passive 2nd order lowpass continuous time sigma-delta modulator is presented. An RLC filter is used in the modulator to replace the integrator so that the sampling frequency is not limited by the op-amp of the integrator. The system is analyzed and simulated in matlab, and a circuit using this method was accomplished with TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The peak SNR can reach 67 dB and 43 dB, respectively, at system level and circuit level when the bandwidth is 10 MHz.
