Introduction
With oversampling the signal band occupies a small fraction of the Nyquist
interval.
The use an ideal digital lter possibly reduces the quantization noise power

Place the quantizer in a feedback loop.
The system has two inputs (signal and noise) and one output.
Goal is to have different suitable transfer functions (STF = signal TF, and
NTF = Signal TF).

Intuitive Views
The output of an integrator is bounded if its input is, on average, zero
the output equals in average the input.
The factor 2 in the NTF indicates a worsening of the noise performances
at high frequency.
Oversampling can be viewed as a staircase with small steps between big
steps between (resolution increases but linearity remains the same).

Therefore, remember the following ...
Warning!
The feedback of a mod-
ulator does not relax the DAC
linearity. Remind that the
method greatly reduces the
number of DAC levels but not
their accuracy requirement!

The offset of the rst integrator is added to the input signal and gives rise
to an equal offset at the digital output.
The offset of the second integrator is referred to the input of the modulator
by dividing it by the transfer function of the rst block (an integrator).
The high-pass transfer function cancels out the effect.
The offset of the DAC is added to the input and causes, similar to the offset
of the rst integrator.
The offset of the ADC is referred to the input by dividing it by the transfer
function of one or more integrators and does not limit the dc operation of
the modulator. The feature enables the exibility of positioning the ADC
thresholds around the more convenient voltage level.

Finite Op-Amp Bandwidth
The nite op-amp bandwidth changes the signal and the noise transfer
function because if the denominator with two poles.
The effect is not very relevant when considered alone. The limit is more
signicant when it is considered together the nite gain and the limited
slew-rate.
The study of the limits is conveniently done with behavioral simulators and
suitable behavioral models.

DAC Non-ideal Operation
The DAC errors are not shaped by the NTF: they are added to the input
and transferred to the output through the STF.
A switched capacitor DACs divides a total capacitance into parts. One limit
associated is the kT/C noise.
Since the kT/C noise is white oversampling limits its power in the band of
interest.

Architectural Design Issues - Integrator Dynamic Range
The integrator voltage swing depends on signal amplitude and quantization
noise.
The dynamic range of operational ampliers and quantizer must accom-
modate both the signal and the noise.
Integrator outputs that exceed the dynamic range are clipped thus causing
a loss of feedback control.

Dynamic Ranges Optimization
A suitable dynamic range in the op-amps (or OTAs) is essential for pre-
serving the SNR and avoiding harmonic distortion.
The critical op-amp is the one used in rst integrator (no shaping).
However, even the second integrator and the quantizer are important.
Carefully estimate the voltage swings and keep them within limits: small to
avoid saturation; not so low to distinguish the electronic noise.
The above points affect the choice of the reference value.

Summing up. the various noise generators cause, after the sampling, a noise voltage
which spectrum is white (over the Nyquist interval).
It is necessary to distinguish between noise contribution at the end of phase 1 and at the
end of phase 2.
All the noise terms are uncorrelated and must be superposed quadratically.

Quantization Error and Dithering
modulators are good for busy signal (approximating the quantization error with a
noise is acceptable).
Constant or very slow inputs can give rise to repetitive patterns (idle channel tones or
pattern noise.).

A key goal is to avoid repetitive patterns that determine tones that can fall in the band of
the signal. The amplitude of tones limits the SFDR.
The use of high-order modulators is benecial.

Use multi-bit quantizers or dither-
ing to destabilize the tonal behavior
of modulators especially when
the input may contain a dominant dc

Dither is a suitable signal capable to destroy the limit cycles.
Dither must be effective against the tones and should not alter the signal.
Inject a sine wave or a square wave whose frequency is out of the signal band. (The
amplitude of the dither must be as low as possible.)
Noise-like signal whose contribution does not degrade the SNR.

Single-bit or Multi-bit?
Disadvantages of using single-bit quantizers.
High SNR with a 1-bit entails the use of high order modulators (design of a stable
architecture or high OSR).
Bandwidth of the op-amps (or OTAs) higher than the clock frequency.
The usable reference voltages of 1-bit modulators is a small fraction of the supply voltage.
Assume that the linear region of the op-amp is V

Disadvantages of using multi-bit quantizers.
In multi-bit the analog section is more complicated than the single bit counterpart.
The multi-bit DAC is normally a capacitive MDAC with, normally, the subtraction and the
DAC functions obtained by the same capacitive array.

Wrap-up
The limited benet of the oversampling technique can be enhanced by shaping the quan-
tization noise. The spectrum is reduced in the signal band and, possibly augmented
out-band.
A high-pass ltering of the quantization noise is achieved by closing the quantizer in a
feedback loop.
The transfer function of the signal is such that the low-frequency components are un-
changed. The noise transfer function signicantly attenuates the in-band region.
The performances of real modulators greatly depend on the limitations due to the
real circuit.
First-order and second-order schemes with single-bit or multi-bit quantizers have been
studied so far.
