This paper presents a discrete-time (DT) 4 th -order ΔΣ modulator using a 2 nd -order noise-shaped integrating quantizer (NSIQ). By adding a passive finite impulse response (FIR) filter to the 1 st -order NSIQ, the proposed quantizer has obtained 2 nd -order noise shaping ability, without extra power consumption. By incorporating the digital integrator, the linearity requirement of the quantizer is relaxed. The proposed modulator is fabricated in a 0.18 μm CMOS process, and operates at 1 MS/s
