Abstract
A third-order continuous-time multibit (4 bit) /spl Delta//spl Sigma/ ADC for wireless applications is implemented in a 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS process. It is shown that the power consumption can be considerably reduced by using a tracking ADC composed of three comparators with interpolation instead of using a 4-bit flash quantizer. Moreover, the usage of a tracking ADC opens the door to a new forward-looking dynamic element matching (DEM) technique, which helps to reduce the loop delay time and consequently improves the loop stability. The SNR is 74 dB over a bandwidth of 2 MHz. The ADC consumes 3 mW from a 1.5-V supply when clocked at 104 MHz. The active area is 0.3 mm/sup 2/.Keywords
