Abstract :
A 16-bit audio codec sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) ADC including a decimation filter, implemented in a 65nm process, is reported measured results. The ADC operates with a 1.2V supply voltage and a 256 times over-sampling, achieving a Spurious-free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of 70dB. The 2-2 MASH architecture has been employed to reduce the required capacitor ratio for improved matching. A temperature compensation scheme is also included in the biasing circuit to limit the power consumption at high temperatures.
