A Robust Hybrid CT/DT 0-2 MASH DSM with Passive Noise-Shaping SAR ADC

TLDR
In this paper , a hybrid CT/DT0-2 multi-stage noise-shaping (MASH) delta-sigma modulator (DSM) with a passive noiseshaping successive approximation register (NSSAR) ADC was proposed.
Abstract
This paper presents a hybrid CT/DT0-2 multi-stage noise-shaping (MASH) delta-sigma modulator (DSM) with a passive noise-shaping successive approximation register (NSSAR) ADC as the $2^{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{d}}$ stage. The overall architecture is simple and robust. The front-end stage employs the continuous-time (CT) operation to perform coarse quantization and provide inherent anti-aliasing and easy driving. The back-end stage uses a second-order NS-SAR architecture, which excels at PVT robustness, power efficiency, and scaling friendliness. It also results in large relaxation of matching issues between the analog and the digital domains compared with conventional CT-MASH. Behavioral simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed hybrid MASH architecture.
