In order to overcome the disadvantages that the conventional cascade ΣΔ modulator architecture is sensitive to the nonlinear finite operational amplifier(OPAMP)gain and that its circuit is complex
a novel 2-3 two stages fifth-order multi-bit cascade ΣΔ modulator architecture is proposed. The first stage of the proposed ΣΔ modulator architecture employs a second-order multi-bit low-distortion ΣΔ modulator that can reduce the effects of the nonlinear finite OPAMP gain. The second stage employs a single-loop third-order ΣΔ modulator with a unity-gain signal transfer function instead of the conventional first-order or second-order modulators that can reduce the complexity of the circuit. Simulation results show that the signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio of the modulator can achieve 95 dB with a maximum gain of 70 dB for the nonlinear OPAMP and a random error of ±0.2% for the digital-to-analog converter.
