Switched-capacitor or switched-current? Which one is better candidate
to meet the needs of a 500-MHz signal-bandwidth Delta-Sigma Modulator?
Thx!

How is the OSR, clock speed, power, supply voltage, DSM orders...

Do you mean 500-MHz is the input signal bandwidth?

OSR = 16, analog power budget < 20 mW, 1.5-V supply -- don't know the
orders: a MASH DSM it is.

And yes, 500-MHz is the maximum input signal bandwidth.

Any pointers???

Did you have the high bandwidth OP already ? 500MHz input signal is not a
low frequency.

By 1.5V supply, how is your process, are you going to use switched-opamp?

MASH 1-1-1 ?

We've designed the wideband op-amp already.

Switched-Op-amp is too slow...

MASH 2-1-1.

Sorry, I can't. Company policy ;-)

Someone in my team decided that switched-capacitor is doable and that
is the final answer. Thx!

May I ask why?

Might help if you quoted the prior post, so we have a clue what you
are asking.

Is this a homework problem?

No, it isn't.

And have you retired?

No, it isn't.

And have you retired?

Nobody knows. As far as _I_ know, he's still designing obscure arcane
multifunction chips for some multi-billion-dollar company, and pulling
down a very, very comfortable salary. In fact, he brags about it from
time to time.

He occasionally also brags about other aspects of His Good Fortune,
which, of course, since I'm a leper, bothers me no end.

But, life goes on, long after the thrill is gone.

Speaking of that, today's "fortune" was:
-----
Life is a game. In order to have a game, something has to be more
important than something else. If what already is, is more important
than what isn't, the game is over. So, life is a game in which what
isn't, is more important than what is. Let the good times roll.
-- Werner Erhard
-----
Well, I disagree with his fundamental assumptions here, but that's a
whole nother topic. But, just to quote it, I looked it up in my
"fortunes2" file (actually, found it in fortunes2 by grep Erhard *), and
was amazed at the philosophy I found contained in that text file, so here
is an excerpt, from Slackware's /usr/share/games/fortunes/fortune2 , about
"Life": (BTW, it's GPL, so there's no copyright infringement that I know
of.)

I'm gonna sign off here - it's kinda long. As usual, please post your
feedback intelligently and blobbedy blah blah yadda. %-}

Thanks!

Ah! Found it!

In the header of the post to which you intend to reply, click the link,
"show options".

Then, it opens a header in a different background color (at least it
does on
my browser), one of the options being "Reply". When I click _that_
"reply"
button, it seems to quote context.

But, of course, you have to be a member of google. ; )
[interestingly either google's spell checker or Konqueror is hiliting
'google'. And
now it's hiliting 'hiliting'. Heh! ;-) - Oops! Spell checker just
hilited 'Heh'! ;-)

And there's "Cancel", "Preview", and "Post message" buttons at the
bottom of
the text box. I've just previewed this one, and am editing it now, but
will now
hit send, irrevocably, obviating the obligatory ohnosecone^Hl^Hc^Hv^Hd.

;-D Cheers!

In the header of the post to which you intend to reply, click the link,
"show options".

So, now, I've hijacked the thread to have a conversation with myslef on
two different windows - two monitors, AAMOF, with xinerama. ;-)

But it's trivially easy to get google to quote context for you.

I hate to suggest any such thing as a weekly or so post, just to offer
the newbies a head-up, because, of course, I'm learning how these things
work, and the guy elected would, of course, be me.

I might write something up, though, and look into whether I could do
it with a reasonably simple script ... hmmm ...

Nah. Too lazy. ;-)

Thanks!
