Abstract
A continuous-time modulator comprises a modulator bridge having a bridge input terminal, an inverted bridge input terminal, a clock terminal and an inverted clock terminal. The modulator further comprises an input amplifier for amplifying an input signal and the input signal inverted and a bridge amplifier coupled to the input amplifier. The bridge is coupled to the bridge amplifier. The modulator further comprises a feedback amplifier coupled to the bridge, with the bridge amplifier coupled to the feedback amplifier. A clock amplifier for amplifying a clock signal and the clock signal inverted is also coupled to the bridge. An output signal is provided at an output terminal coupled to the bridge input terminal. An inverted output signal is provided at an output terminal coupled to the inverted bridge input terminal.
