چکیده مقاله :
در این مقاله، یک مبدل سیگما دلتای زمان گسسته فوق کم‌مصرف مرتبه دوم، برای کاربرد سمعک پیشنهاد شده است. در تجهیزات پزشکی مانند سمعک که دایما استفاده می‌شود، طول عمر باتری و مصرف انرژی مورد توجه است. در مبدل های سیگما-دلتا نوعی، OTA ها بیشترین مصرف را دارند. حذف OTAها در مبدلهای سیگما دلتا همچنان یک چالش محسوب می‌شود. بنابراین مبدلی با یک تقویت کننده مبتنی بر اینورتر دیفرانسیلی کامل خود بایاس با اتلاف توان استاتیک 1.15 µW با ولتاژ تغذیه 1 ولت طراحی شده است. این تقویت کننده مبتنی بر اینورتر، به جای OTA در هر دو طبقه مدولاتور استفاده شده است. ساختار این مبدل، CIFB ، تک حلقه و تک بیتی است. مدولاتور دیفرانسیل پیشنهادی با استفاده از فناوری استاندارد 180 نانومتر CMOS طراحی و شبیه سازی شده، و مقدار SFDR و SNDR آن به ترتیب برابر با 95.2878dB و 64.004 dB بدست آمده است. فرکانس نمونه برداری 2.56 MHz در نظر گرفته شده و پهنای باند سیگنال ورودی برابر با 10 kHz است. این مدولاتور، تنها 5.1091 µW انرژی مصرف می کند و FOMW آن برابر با 0.197 pj/step است.
In this paper, an ultra-low-power, second-order, discrete-time sigma-delta converter is proposed for hearing aids application. In portable biomedical devices such as hearing aids that permanently use, the battery lifetime and power dissipation are very considerable. In a typical delta-sigma modulator, the OTAs are the most power-consuming parts. The OTAs elimination in the converters is now challenging. Therefore the converter with a self-biased fully differential inverter-based amplifier was designed with only 1.15 µw static power dissipation at a 1-volt power supply. The inverter-based amplifier was used instead of the OTAs in two stages of the modulator. The modulator’s structure is CIFB, single-loop, and single bit. The proposed differential modulator was designed and simulated using a standard 180 nm CMOS technology, which obtained SFDR and SNDR of 95.2878 dB and 64.004 dB, respectively. The sampling frequency is considered 2.56 MHz, and the input signal bandwidth is 10kHz. The modulator consumes power just about 5.1091 µW, and the FOMW achieves 0.197 pj/step.
