Farshidi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper presents the design of a low power second-order continuous-time sigma-delta modulator for low power applications. The loop filter of this modulator has been implemented based on the nonlinear transconductance-capacitor (Gm-C) by employing current-mode technique. The nonlinear transconductance uses floating gate MOS (FG-MOS) transistors that operate in weak inversion region. The proposed modulator features low power consumption (<80uW), low supply voltage (1V) and 62dB dynamic range. Simulation results by HSPICE confirm that it is very suitable for low power biomedical instrumentation designs. }, journal = {International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {3}, number = {4}, year = {2009}, pages = {825 - 831}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10914}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/28}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 28, 2009}, }
