Abstract
This dissertation presents an oversampled DAC based on a closed-loop architecture that consists of a hybrid cascade of a digital sigma-delta modulator and an analog quasi-sigma-delta modulator. This closed-loop approach relaxes the linearity, timing and matching required of a multi-bit D/A interface. A single-pole RC filter embedded within an analog modulation loop achieves substantial out-of-band quantization noise suppression at a significant savings in power and area because no high-performance analog low-pass filter is needed at the D/A output. An experimental prototype of the closed-loop oversampled DAC with embedded reconstruction filtering has been integrated in 0.18-um CMOS. This circuit provides multi-bit conversion without DEM, as well as 3rd-order filtering of out-of-band noise. At a sampling rate of 10MHz with an OSR of 16, the DAC achieves 61-dB SNDR, 63-dB DR, and 50-dB out-of-band noise suppression, while dissipating 22mW from a 1.2-V supply.
