A low power, low chip area decimation filter for Σ - Δ modulator for flywheel MEMS gyro realized in the CMOS 180 nm technology

Abstract

The paper presents a low power and low chip area decimation filter for a 15-bits Σ-Δ analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for a flywheel MEMS gyroscope. In contrary to typical solutions, in which decimation is performed after each filtering stage, in the proposed approach all filter sections operate at the sampling frequency of the modulator. The low power dissipation is in this case achieved by substantially simpler structure of particular stages. By selecting the oversampling ratio (OSR) of the modulator sufficiently large, e.g. 200, the decimation filter composed of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters with equal coefficients does not distort the passband signal. The low chip area results from eliminating a complex selective filter usually placed at the end of the filtering chain in the decimation filter.

Digital filter
In signal processing, a digital filter is a system that performs mathematical operations on a sampled, discrete-time signal to reduce or enhance certain aspects of that signal. This is in contrast to the other major type of electronic filter, the analog filter, which is typically an electronic circuit operating on continuous-time analog signals. A digital filter system usually consists of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to sample the input signal, followed by a microprocessor and some peripheral components such as memory to store data and filter coefficients etc.
Analogue filter
Analogue filters are a basic building block of signal processing much used in electronics. Amongst their many applications are the separation of an audio signal before application to bass, mid-range, and tweeter loudspeakers; the combining and later separation of multiple telephone conversations onto a single channel; the selection of a chosen radio station in a radio receiver and rejection of others.
Infinite impulse response
Infinite impulse response (IIR) is a property applying to many linear time-invariant systems that are distinguished by having an impulse response which does not become exactly zero past a certain point, but continues indefinitely. This is in contrast to a finite impulse response (FIR) system in which the impulse response does become exactly zero at times for some finite , thus being of finite duration. Common examples of linear time-invariant systems are most electronic and digital filters.
