Y. Matsuya et al., DIGITAL CORRECTION TECHNIQUE FOR MULTISTAGE NOISE-SHAPING WITH AN RC-ANALOG INTEGRATOR, IEICE transactions on electronics, E77C(12), 1994, pp. 1912-1919
A multi-stage noise-shaping (MASH) A/D converter combining an RC-integ
rator and a digital correction technique for high accuracy is describe
d. Using 1.2-pm BiCMOS technology, we developed an A/D converter for d
igital audio with an SIN ratio of over 100 dB. This paper discusses th
e principles of MASH technology with an RC-integrator, the technique f
or correcting RC variation, and the experimental results obtained with
a fabricated chip.
