Abstract: Analog to digital converter is an essential block in any on-chip digital circuit. Out of different ADC’s oversampling ADC’s uses sampling frequency more than the Nyquist rate which eliminates abrupt cutoff in anti-aliasing filter. A sigma-delta ADC is a type of oversampling ADC which uses a noise shaping circuit to achieve high resolution. The performance metrics such as Figure of Merit (FOM), Signal to noise distortion ratio (SNDR), bandwidth, the sampling frequency of sigma-delta ADC are important in the design of ADC. Different approaches to achieve high SNDR are discussed in this paper as SNDR is one of the primary factors of ADC.
