The SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) has been rapidly acknowledged as a world wide transmission standard replacing the existing PDH infrastructure. A bit stuffing is used for synchronization between a PDH signal and a SDH node, and a pointer justification is used for synchronization between one SDH node and the other SDH node. During above processes - a bit stuffing and a pointer processing -, a stuffing jitter and a pointer Jitter are produced and the generated jitter can cause transmission error. In this study, a stuffing jitter and a pointer jitter are modeled and analyzed. A Sigma-Delta modulation is described and an advanced jitter reduction technique using a Sigma-Delta modulation technique in the Synchronizer, Pointer Processor and Desynchronizer is provided.

본 논문에서는 강압형 DC-DC 컨버터의 성능 개선을 위한 스위칭 기법인 2차 SDSDM(Space Dithered Sigma-Delta Modulation)방식을 제안한다. PWM 방식은 일정 스위칭 주파수 대역에서의 고조파로 인해 소음, 전자파 장애, 스위칭 손실 등을 초래한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 DSDM 방식의 일종인 1차 SDSDM은 랜덤 디더(Random Dither) 발생기가 1차 SDM의 양자화기(quatizer) 입력 단에 위치하여 스위칭 주파수가 분산된다. 강압형 DC/DC 컨버터에 제안하는 2차 SDSDM의 방식을 적용한 실험 결과를 통해 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper describes a spread-spectrum clock generation method by utilizing a ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ digital PLL (DPLL) which is solely based on binary phase detection and does not require a linear time-to-digital converter (TDC) or other linear digital-to-time converter (DTC) circuitry. A 1-bit high-order ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator and a hybrid finite-impulse response (FIR) filter are employed to mitigate the phase-folding problem caused by the nonlinearity of the bang-bang phase detector (BBPD). The ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ DPLL employs a two-point modulation technique to further enhance linearity at the turning point of a triangular modulation profile. We also show that the two-point modulation is useful for the BBPLL to improve the spread-spectrum performance by suppressing the frequency deviation at the input of the BBPD, thus reducing the peak phase deviation. Based on the proposed architecture, a 3.2 GHz spread-spectrum clock generator (SSCG) is implemented in 65 nm CMOS. Experimental results show that the proposed SSCG achieves peak power reductions of 18.5 dB and 11 dB with 10 kHz and 100 kHz resolution bandwidths respectively, consuming 6.34 mW from a 1 V supply.

This paper presents multibit Sigma-Delta ADC using Leslie-Singh Structure to Improve nonlinearity of feedback loop. 4-bit flash ADC for multibit Quantization in Sigma Delta modulator offers the following advantages such as lower quantization noise, more accurate white-noise level and more stability over single quantization. For the feedback paths consisting of DAC, the DAC element should have a high matching requirement in order to maintain the linearity performance which can be obtained by the modulator with a multibit quantizer. Thus a Sigma-Delta ADC usually adds the dynamic element matching digital circuit within feedback loop. It occurs complexity of Sigma-Delta Circuit and increase of power dissipation. In this paper using the Leslie-Singh Structure for improving nonliearity of ADC. This structure operate at low oversampling ratio but is difficult to achieve high resolution. So in this paper propose improving loop filter for single-bit feedback multi-bit quantization Sigma-Delta ADC. It obtained 94.3dB signal to noise ratio over 615kHz bandwidth, and 62mW power dissipation at a sampling frequency of 19.6MHz. This Sigma Delta ADC is fabricated in 0.25um CMOS technology with 2.5V supply voltage.

This paper describes a spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) circuit for DisplayPort 1.2 standard. A Hershey-Kiss modulation profile is generated by dual sigma-delta modulators. The structure generates various modulation slopes to shape a non-linear modulation profile. The proposed SSCG for DisplayPort 1.2 generates clock signals with 5000 ppm down spreading with a Hershey-Kiss modulation profile at three different clock frequencies, 540 MHz, 270 MHz and 162 MHz. The measured peak power reduction is about 15.6 dB at 540 MHz with the chip fabricated using a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

This paper presents multibit Sigma-Delta ADC using noise-shaped dynamic element matching(DEM). 5-bit flash ADC for multibit quantization in Sigma Delta modulator offers the following advantages such as lower quantization noise, more accurate white-noise level and more stability over single quantization. For the feedback paths consisting of DAC, the DAC element should have a high matching requirement in order to maintain the linearity performance which can be obtained by the modulator with a multibit quantizer. The DEM algorithm is implemented in such a way as to minimize additional delay within the feedback loop of the modulator Using this algorithm, distortion spectra from DAC linearity errors are shaped. Sigma Delta ADC achieves 82dB signal to noise ratio over 615H7z bandwidth, and 62mW power dissipation at a sampling frequency of 19.6MHz. This Sigma Delta ADC is designed to use 0.25um CMOS technology with 2.5V supply voltage and verified by HSPICE simulation.

This paper presents a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS 3-level envelope delta-sigma modulation (EDSM) RF signal generator, which synthesizes a 2.6 GHz-centered fully symmetrical 3-level EDSM signal for high-efficiency power amplifier architectures. It consists of an I-Q phase modulator, a Class B wideband buffer, an up-conversion mixer, a D2S, and a Class AB wideband drive amplifier. To preserve fast phase transition in the 3-state envelope level, the wideband buffer has an RLC load and the driver amplifier uses a second-order BPF as its load to provide enough bandwidth. To achieve an accurate 3-state envelope level in the up-mixer output, the LO bias level is optimized. The I-Q phase modulator adopts a modified quadrature passive mixer topology and mitigates the I-Q crosstalk problem using a 50% duty cycle in LO clocks. The fabricated chip provides an average output power of -1.5 dBm and an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 3.89% for 3GPP LTE 64 QAM input signals with a channel bandwidth of 10/20 MHz, as well as consuming 60 mW for both channels from a 1.2 V/2.5 V supply voltage.

This paper presents a design and analysis of electromechanical sigma-delta modulator for MEMS gyroscope, which enables us to control the proof mass and to obtain an exact digital output without additional A/D conversion. The system structure and the circuit realization of the sigma-delta modulation are simpler than those of the analog sensing and feedback circuit. Based on the electrical sigma-delta modulator theory, a compensator is designed to improve the closed loop resolution of the sensor. With the designed compensator, we could obtain enhanced closed-loop performances of the gyroscope such as larger bandwidth, lower noise, and digital output comparing with the results of analog open-loop system.
