Abstract: This paper explains the design of two stage operational amplifier, single bit comparator and D flip- flop best suited for the fifth order continuous-time sigma-delta modulator. A fifth order continuous time sigma delta modulator is chosen for 40MHz Signal Bandwidth with an nyquist frequency of 150MHz. Two stage opamp is used to provide the high gain to the modulator. A single quantizer is used to maintain linearity in the modulator. D flip-flop is used for the sampling of the analog signal with the clock frequency of 300MHz. All the three components are designed and implemented in 180nm CMOS technology.
Keywords: Operational-Amplifier, Comparator, D flip-flop
