This　paper　presents　a　low-power　chopper　stabilized　discrete-time　2　nd-order　feed-forward　ΣΔ　modulator　with　a　4-bit　asynchronous　successive　approximation　register　(SAR)　quantizer.　The　weighted　sum　of　integrated　and　feed-forward　signals　is　merged　with　the　sampling　phase　of　the　SAR　quantizer　to　minimize　the　distortion　sources　and　associated　hardware　overhead.　The　1st　integrator　uses　a　partially　switched　operational　amplifier　biased　in　weak　inversion　to　reduce　power　consumption.　The　4-bit　SAR　quantizer　further　employs　an　asynchronous　control　scheme　to　reduce　the　loop　delay　and　power　consumption.　A　0.13-μm　CMOS　experimental　prototype　achieves　84dB　dynamic　range,　84dB　peak　SNR,　and　82dB　peak　SNDR　over　an　input　bandwidth　of　10-kHz.　The　total　power　consumption　of　the　modulator　is　48μW　from　a　0.8-V　supply　at　an　800-kHz　sampling　rate.　©　2012　IEEE.
