Abstract
This paper presents a procedure for the power-optimal design of high-resolution low-bandwidth switched-capacitor (SC) ¿S modulators (¿SMs). The most power efficient ¿S architecture is identified among single-loop switched-capacitor (SC) feedback (FB) and feed-forward (FF) topologies with different loop order N, oversampling ratio OSR, and quantizer resolution B. Based on the results obtained, an experimental prototype is implemented in a 0.18µm CMOS process, achieving a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 95 dB over a signal bandwidth fBW of 10 kHz. The prototype operates with a 1.28MHz sampling rate and dissipates a total power of 210uW from a 1.8V supply.
