The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is one of the most significant measures of performance of the sigma-delta modulators. An approximate formula for calculation of signal-to-noise ratio of an arbitrary sigma-delta modulator (SDM) has been proposed. Our approach for signal-to-noise ratio computation does not require modulator modeling and simulation. The proposed formula is compared with SNR calculations based on output bitstream obtained by simulations, and the reasons for small discrepancies are explained. The proposed approach is suitable for fast and precise signal-to-noise ratio computation. It is very useful in the modulator design stage, where multiple performance estimates are required.
