Two generations of the BDO converter were implemented using 0.5 um-CMOS technology to demonstrate their functionality. We also implemented a first order continuous time sigma delta modulator on the same integrated chip to compare both architectures. We compared both converters in terms of size, power, resolution and robustness. The proposed binary dithered oversampled converter was significantly smaller in size, consumed less power and achieved comparable resolution to that of the first order sigma delta modulator. In terms of robustness, sigma delta modulator can achieve higher resolution if...
