Abstract

This paper discusses and shows the use of Nauta operational transconductance amplifiers as integrator elements in a second-order continuous-time delta-sigma ADC. The structure is studied in order to take advantage of its potentially high bandwidth operation and simple inverter-based structure for wide output voltage range in current and future CMOS process. The second-order continuous-time delta sigma modulator circuit is implemented in CMOS 65nm, with simulation results showing that 63.29-dB SFDR, and an SNDR of 58.11-dB or 9.36 effective number of bits are achieved, with a signal bandwidth of 8 MHz and sampling frequency of 1.024 GHz. Challenges related to implementation issues and their trade-off are discussed.
