Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a modulator circuit, in particular to a second-order continuous-time sigma-delta modulator circuit, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuits. Background Art
[0002] An analog-to-digital data converter is a circuit that converts analog signals in the real world into digital signals. In magnetic signal applications, due to the large range of changes in magnetic signals, the analog-to-digital data converter used is required to have a large dynamic range, which also requires that the out-of-band noise be significantly attenuated during signal processing, increasing the difficulty of filter design. If the loop transfer function of the continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter is designed to not contain a constant term, its STF (signal transfer function) will have filtering characteristics near the Nyquist frequency, so that the continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital data converter can have a natural anti-aliasing characteristic, which can relax the design requirements for the filter in front of the ADC and save power and area. In addition, the continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital data converter has a resistor input and is easy to drive. For the continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital data converter, its stability is an issue that must be considered for design. For Sigma-delta modulators of different structures, the intuitive basis for determining its stability is related to the out-of-band noise gain of the modulator. For a second-order Sigma-delta modulator, its out-of-band noise gain should be controlled to be less than 2. In order to apply the anti-aliasing characteristics of the continuous-time Sigma-delta modulator, the input signal cannot be introduced at the input node of the comparator. Therefore, it is best to use the CIFB structure to implement it. For the second-order CIFB structure modulator, the roll-off of its signal transfer function at high frequencies is 1 / S 2 , and has a strong ability to suppress out-of-band noise.
[0003] The classic continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital data converter structure is shown in the figure below. Figure 5 : It is mainly composed of integrator, comparator and DAC. One limitation of continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital data converter is that the non-ideal jitter of the clock will affect the feedback characteristics of the DAC. This effect cannot be removed by loop filtering. If it is not processed, it will seriously affect the effective number of bits of the analog-to-digital data converter.
[0004] For a continuous-time sigma-delta modulator, its output accuracy is mainly related to the signal itself, power supply voltage, reference voltage, circuit noise, and clock noise. The noise performance of the signal itself is determined by the signal itself. The noise performance of the power supply voltage and reference voltage can be controlled by modules such as LDO. The noise of the circuit itself can be controlled by increasing the current and circuit area. In chiplet design, the clock is usually generated directly by the OSC circuit. The clock performance generated by the OSC circuit is usually poor and difficult to eliminate in the design, so it has a great impact on the performance of the continuous-time sigma-delta modulator.
[0005] exist Figure 5 The output can be expressed as follows: ; where e q (s) represents the quantization noise of the comparator, which is shaped by the high-pass filter in the loop, e dac (s) represents the clock noise reflected in the DAC, which is not shaped by the loop and directly affects the performance of the modulator.
[0006] The noise introduced by the clock circuit jitter can be estimated by the following formula: ; where σ Δt is the standard deviation of clock jitter, T s is the period of the clock, and OSR is the oversampling rate of the modulator.
[0007] In order to reduce the impact of this part of noise, the industry usually uses multi-bit quantizers or introduces FIR DAC to reduce the amplitude of noise. However, traditional resistive FIR DAC usually requires the use of a large number of resistors, which often occupy a large area and increase the cost of the chip. Summary of the invention
