This paper introduces a new method of analysis for deltasigma modulators based on modeling the nonlinear quantizer with a linearized gain, obtained by minimizing a mean-square-error criterion [7], followed by an additive noise source representing distortion components. In the paper, input signal amplitude dependencies of delta-sigma modulator stability and signal-to-noise ratio are analyzed. It is shown that due to the nonlinearity of the quantizer, the signal-to-noise ratio of the modulator may decrease as the input amplitude increases prior to saturation. Also, a stable third-order delta-sigma modulator may become unstable by increasing the input amplitude beyond a certain threshold. Both of these phenomena are explained by the nonlinear analysis of this paper. The analysis is carried out for both dc and sinusoidal excitations.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a design methodology based on correspondence between performance requirements, mathematical parameters, and circuit parameters of a sigma-delta modulator is presented, which will guide a design engineer in selecting the circuit parameters based on system requirements, in translating paper design directly into LSI design, in predicting the effect of component sensitivity, and in analyzing the operations of the sigmoid modulator, which is viewed as a device which distributes the noise power, determined by peak SNR, over a much broader band, compared to signal bandwidth, shapes and amplifies it,
