| The rapid scaling in modern CMOS technology has motivated the researchers to design new analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architectures that can properly work in lower supply voltage. An exchanging the data quantization procedure from the amplitude to the time domain, can be a promising alternative well adapt with the technology scaling. This paper is going to review the recent development in time-based noise-shaping ADCs, so-called as time-based sigma-delta modulators. Two of the most important architectures named as voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) -based and time-to-digital (TDC) -based sigma-delta modulators (SDMs) are selected to be reviewed in this paper. The intrinsic advantages and limitations of the these structures are briefly explored. To confirm the effectiveness of the time-mode sigma-delta modulators, a TDC-based continuous-time sigma-delta modulator is proposed as an example and the related simulation results performed in MATLAB are illustrated. The simulation results show that the proposed modulator achieves a dynamic range of 67 dB over 30 MHz with the loop filter of order 2. The proposed TDC-based sigma-delta modulator shows the superiority of the time quantization approach in designing the wideband and less complex continuous-time SDMs. | ||
