Previous work mainly focused on using only the sensing element to form a 2nd-order single loop sigma-delta modulator. Therefore, the advantages of higher-order (4th-order and 5th-order) single loop electro-mechanical have not been explored, especially for inertial sensors that require higher Signal to Quantization Noise Ratio (SQNR), wide-band signal and low power dissipation. This paper presents architecture for higher-order single loop electro-mechanical with optimal stable coefficients that lead to better SQNR. Simulations show the maximum SQNR of 3rd-order, 4th-order and 5th-order is 88dB, 105dB and 122dB, respectively, using an Oversampling Ratio (OSR) of 256. | | ISBN: | 0-9728422-7-6 |
