Abstract This article presents a high speed third-order continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (SDADC) based on voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), featuring a digital programmable quantizer structure. To improve the overall performance, not only oversampling technique but also noise-shaping enhancing technique is used to suppress in-band noise. Due to the intrinsic first-order noise-shaping of the VCO quantizer, the proposed third-order SDADC can realize forth-order noise-shaping ideally. As a bright advantage, the proposed programmable VCO quantizer is digital-friendly, which can simplify the design process and improve anti-interference capability of the circuit. A 4-bit programmable VCO quantizer clocked at 2.5 GHz, which is proposed in a… More >
