A Higher-Order Mismatch-Shaping Method for Multi- Bit Sigma-Delta Modulators Alexander Lavzin, Mucahit Kozak, and Eby G. Friedman Department of ECE University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627 friedman@ece.rochester.edu Abstract—Mismatch-shaping Dynamic Element Matching Generally speaking, in a higher-order multi-bit SDM, the (DEM) methods are extensively used in multi-bit Sigma-Delta mismatch-shaping algorithm must have the same order as the Modulators (SDM) to reduce the effects of element mismatches. SDM itself to fully preserve the higher-order noise shaping To date, only first and second-order mismatch-shaping DEM properties. For instance, a third-order and a fourth-order SDM techniques have been reported in the literature. In this paper, a may need a third-order and a fourth-order mismatch-shaping higher-order mismatch-shaping DEM method is reported, which algortihm, respectively. Otherwise, the noise shaping is an extension of the known vector-feedback mismatch-shaping properties that can be achieved from a higher-order SDM may technique. Example simulation results are presented for third- only be limited to the order of the DEM. Theoretically, both order and fourth-order mismatch-shaping DEMs. the VFMS and TSMS can achieve any order of filtering. However, due to practical reasons
