Abstract:
This paper presents the design, modelling and analysis of novel multi-path time-interleaved analog and digital sigma-delta modulators that can operate at any arbitrary centre-frequency from DC to Nyquist. Dual- and quadruple-path fourth-order Butterworth, Chebyshev, inverse Chebyshev and elliptical based sigma-delta modulators are designed, which offer designers the flexibility of specifying the centre-frequency, pass-band/stop-band attenuation as well as the signal bandwidth. These topologies are compared in terms of their signal-to-noise ratios, hardware complexity, stability, tonality and sensitivity to non-idealities. In addition, this paper presents the mathematical modelling and evaluation of tones caused by the finite wordlengths of these digital multi-path sigma-delta modulators when excited by sinusoidal input signals.
