Digital-to-analog converter considerations for achieving a dynamic range of 1 ppm in precision mechatronics systems

TL;DR: A resistor string digital-to-analog converter topology employing noise-shaping is presented and the contribution of each noise source in this topology is described in order to specify the necessary parameters to achieve a given resolution.

A Polyphase Filter Design for Continuous-Time Quadrature Bandpass Sigma–Delta Modulators

TL;DR: This paper presents a strategy for successful polyphase-filter design for continuous-time quadrature bandpass sigma-delta (SigmaDelta) modulators using a low-pass filter with a chain of integrators with weighted capacitive feedforward summation topology and proposes a new compensation scheme.

Novel Architecture of Feedforward Second-Order Multibit Delta-Sigma-AD Modulator.

TL;DR: A novel architecture of a feedforward ΔΣAD modulator which realizes the summation of feedforward signals without additional amplifier is proposed which is functionally equivalent to the conventional one but with smaller chip area and lower power dissipation.

A higher order topology for interpolative modulators for oversampling A/D converters

TL;DR: Higher order modulators are shown not only to greatly reduce oversampling requirements for high-resolution conversion applications, but also to randomize the quantization noise, avoiding the need for dithering.

Decimation for Sigma Delta Modulation

TL;DR: It is shown that digital filters comprising cascades of integrate-and-dump functions can match the structure of the noise from sigma delta modulation to provide decimation with negligible loss of signal-to-noise ratio.

An analysis of nonlinear behavior in delta - sigma modulators

TL;DR: 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, followed by an additive noise source representing distortion components.

The Structure of Quantization Noise from Sigma-Delta Modulation

TL;DR: Simple algebraic expressions for this modulation noise and its spectrum in terms of the input amplitude are derived and can be useful for designing oversampled analog to digital converters that use sigma-delta modulation for the primary conversion.

A fourth-order bandpass sigma-delta modulator

TL;DR: The modulator of a bandpass analog/digital (A/D) converter, with 63 dB signal/noise for broadcast AM bandwidth signals centered at 455 kHz, has been implemented by modifying a commercial digital-audio sigma-delta ( Sigma Delta ) converter.
