Abstract

High performance delta-sigma modulator is developed for audio-codec applications(i.e.. 16-bit resolution at a 20kHz signal bandwidth). The modulator is realized with fully-differential switched capacitor integrators. All stages employ a single-stage folded-cascode amplifier. The presented delta-sigma modulator when clocked at 3.2MHz achieves 85.2dB peak-SNDR and 94.8dB SNR. This modulator is designed in a SAMSUNG $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. Finally, this paper shows the test setup and FFT result gained from delta-sigma modulator chip designed for audio applications.
