A very low OSR 90nm 1MS/s incremental #x03A3;#x0394; ADC

摘要

A calibration free, high resolution second-order multichannel Incremental A-to-D-Converter with multi-level quantizer is presented. The system is designed for biomedical application and combines the advantages of low oversampling ratio with SC design solution, like multi bit topology and accurate opamp design. An optimal decimation filter to minimize the weighted sum of thermal and quantization noise is used. In this paper is presented the schematic level implementation of the system in a 1.2 V 90 nm CMOS Technology and the preliminary simulation shows a 56.4 dB signal-to-noise-distortion within a 500 kHz bandwidth at a 16 MHz sample frequency.
