摘要
设计了一个应用于18位高端音频模数转换器(ADC)的三阶低功耗ΣΔ调制器.调制器采用2-1级联结构,通过优化调制器系数来提高其动态范围,并减小调制器输出频谱中的杂波.电路设计中采用栅源自举技术实现输入信号采样开关,有效提高了采样电路的线性度;提出一种高能效的A/AB类跨导放大器,在仅消耗0.8mA电流的情况下,达到100V/μs以上的压摆率.针对各级积分器不同的采样电容,逐级对跨导放大器进行进一步功耗优化.调制器在中芯国际0.18μm混合信号CMOS工艺中流片,芯片核心面积为1.1mm×1.0mm.测试结果表明在22.05kHz带宽内,信噪失真比和动态范围分别达到91dB和94dB.在3.3V电源电压下,调制器功耗为6.8mW,适合于高性能、低功耗音频模数转换器应用.
A third-order low-power ΣΔ modulator for a high-end 18bit audio-band analog-to-digital converter is developed. The modulator is based on a 2-1 cascaded architecture with optimized coefficients to extend the dynamic range and reduce the spectrum tones. The gate-source bootstrapping technique is employed to enhance the sampling switch linearity. A power-efficient class A/AB opera- tional transconductance amplifier (OTA) is proposed, which achieves a high slew rate of 100V/μs with only 0.8mA current consumption. The OTA designed for the second and third integrators is a scaled version of the first OTA,which allows for further power reduction. The modulator is implemented in SMIC mixed-signal 0.18μm CMOS technology,and the area is 1. 1mm x 1.0mm. Experimental results indicate a peak signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) of 91dB and a dynamic range of 94dB over a 22. 05kHz bandwidth. The chip operates under a 3.3V power supply with a power dissipation of 6.8mW, which is suitable for high-performance,low-power audio ADC applications.
