In this dissertation, I designed the 2nd-order delta-sigma modulator for the A/D converter used in the s-EMG signal-processing LSI, and evaluate the characteristics of it. Through this evaluation, I found that amplifiers used in the integrators deteriorate the floor noise. As the result, the resolution of the delta-sigma modulator deteriorates. In order to improve the amplifier, three kinds of amplifiers with a di??erent circuit compositions are designed. All of the circuits were evaluated through HSPICE simulation with ROHM 0.18 ??m CMOS device parameters. From the simulation results, I found that SQNR was improved about 20dB. Finally, SQNR of the ΔΣ modulator using class AB amplifiers was about 90dB and the value resulted in ENOB of 14bit.
