Analog-to-digital converters are critically important in electronic systems. The
difficulty in meeting high performance parameters increases as integrated circuit design
process technologies advance into the deep nanometer region. Sigma-delta analog-todigital
converters are an attractive option to fulfill many data converter requirements.
These data converters offer high performance while relaxing requirements on the precision
of components within an integrated circuit. Despite this, the active integrators found within
sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters present two main challenges. These challenges are
the power consumption of the active amplifier and achieving gain-bandwidth necessary for
sigma-delta data converters in deep nanometer process technologies. Both of these
challenges …
