    Low-power reconfigurable Σ-Δ DAC digital circuit design

    • 提出并验证了一种可配置低功耗Σ-Δ数模转换器(DAC)数字电路设计方案,涵盖数字插值滤波器与数字调制器两大核心模块。在插值滤波器中,采用折叠算法对半带滤波器和有限冲激响应(FIR)补偿滤波器进行结构优化,使乘法器和加法器资源均缩减至各1个,显著降低硬件开销。在10.24 MHz系统时钟条件下,依据输入信号频率的不同,通过灵活配置CIC插值滤波器的插值因子及数字环路调制器的工作模式,可实现10位、12位、14位和16位共4种有效位数的数字信号输出,以满足多元化应用场景的性能需求。基于中芯国际22 nm CMOS工艺,完成版图设计,核心面积为131 μm×131 μm,总功耗仅为0.215 1 mW,验证了该结构在低功耗与可配置性方面的优越性。

       

      Abstract: This paper presents and validates a digital circuit design scheme for a configurable low-power Σ-Δ digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which encompasses two core modules: a digital interpolation filter and a digital modulator. In the interpolation filter, a folding algorithm is employed to optimize the structures of the half-band filter and the finite impulse response (FIR) compensation filter, reducing both the multiplier and adder resources to one each, thereby significantly lowering hardware overhead. Under a system clock of 10.24 MHz, by flexibly configuring the interpolation factor of the CIC interpolation filter and the operating mode of the digital loop modulator according to the frequency of the input signal, four different effective bit resolutions—namely 10-bit, 12-bit, 14-bit, and 16-bit—can be achieved for digital signal output, catering to the performance requirements of diverse application scenarios. Fabricated in SMIC's 22-nm CMOS process, the completed layout occupies a core area of 131 μm × 131 μm and consumes a total power of only 0.215 1 mW, which verifies the superiority of the proposed architecture in terms of low power consumption and configurability.
