A selectable-bandwidth 3.5 mW, 0.03 mm(2) self-oscillating Sigma Delta modulator with 71 dB dynamic range at 5 MHz and 65 dB at 10 MHz bandwidth [PDF]
In this paper we present a dual-mode third order continuous time Sigma Delta modulator that combines noise shaping and pulse-width-modulation (PWM). In our 0.18 micro-m CMOS prototype chip the clock frequency equals 1 GHz, but the PWM carrier is only ...

Nonlinear behaviors of bandpass sigma delta modulators with stable system matrices [PDF]
It has been established that a class of bandpass sigma delta modulators (SDMs) may exhibit state space dynamics which are represented by elliptical or fractal patterns confined within trapezoidal regions when the system matrices are marginally stable. In
