  • Abstract
    An ultra low power second-order switched capacitor (SC) sigma-delta (ΣΔ) modulator is presented. Using of a class-C inverter instead of an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) enables the SC ΣΔ modulator to achieve sub-μW power consumption. The proposed modulator has been implemented using a 0.35μm CMOS process. The measured peak SNR of the modulator is 56dB in a 3kHz signal bandwidth with sampling frequency of 200kHz. Its dynamic range is approximately 56 dB and the power consumption is only 0.8μW with a 1V power supply.
