NONIDEALITIES STUDY OF A CONTINUOUS-TIME DELTA-SIGMA MODULATOR USING VHDL-AMS MODELLING

Abstract:
In this paper, a complete high-speed Continuous-Time Bandpass Delta-Sigma modulator for digital receiver applications is modeled, using VHDL-AMS. The main Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma modulator’s nonidealities such as excess loop delay, clock jitter and multi-bit feedback DAC element mismatch in the modulator loop are also modeled and their effects evaluated. An accurate understanding of these non-ideal phenomena allows to estimate the limits of the modulator and hence to design more robust building-blocks.
