Abstract
A demodulator subsystem incorporates second-order filtering for use within a sigma-delta DAC. A conventional demodulator is modified to include circuitry which manifests a second-order filtering response to the output of the demodulator. The added circuitry includes an additional pair of phased switched capacitor legs and a fixed capacitor. The combination of the additional circuitry with the existing phase switched and fixed capacitors of the conventional demodulator creates an additional pole which provides second order filtering to the demodulator output, effectively eliminating the high-order post filtering and minimizing both the circuit area required for implementation of the demodulator and its power consumption.
