This paper presents several novel low-power low-distortion ΔΣ modulator topologies with shifted loop delays. Both single-sampled and double-sampled modulators are discussed. The proposed architectures can relax the critical timing for quantization and for dynamic element matching. A delay-free integrator in the last stage is used to perform the active summation, hence eliminating the active adder. The reduced input swing of the last integrator relaxes the OTA's requirements. The proposed topology simplifies the feed-forward paths, and saves power consumption and capacitor area. Noise-coupled technique can also be utilized to enhance the noise shaping. To verify the effect of the proposed topology, single- and double-sampled third-order ΔΣ modulators with and without noise coupling were analyzed and simulated.
