Abstract
Apparatuses for composing LC resonators in a continuous-time RF bandpass delta-sigma modulator are provided. A plurality of resonator inductors are shaped and strategically positioned on an integrated circuit die to minimize the resonant couplings. The resonator inductors can be also constructed from pairs of bond wires connected to a ground paddle, or to a set of lead frame pins. The inductance in each resonator can be increased by appending a specifically shaped planer inductor constructed from the PCB metal track to the bond wire pair via two lead frame pins.
