  • Design techniques for low power ADCs

    Creator:
    Yu, Wenhuan
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents an incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with digital digital-to-analog converter (DAC) mismatch correction. A theoretical time-domain analysis technique was developed to predict the noise performance of the incremental ADC, and a new optimization technique was proposed to minimize the output noise. In the calibration mode, the incremental ADC...

    Creator:
    Lee, Sang Hyeon
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters traditionally have been used for low speed, high resolution applications such as measurements, sensors, voice and audio systems. Through continued device scaling in CMOS technology and architectural and circuit level design innovations, they have even become popular for wideband, high dynamic range applications such as wired and...

  • Wide-bandwidth, high-resolution delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Zanbaghi, Ramin
    Abstract:
    There is a significant need in recent mobile communication and wireless broadband systems for high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that have wide bandwidth (BW>5-MHz) and high data rate (>100-Mbps). A delta-sigma ADC is recognized as a power-efficient ADC architecture when high resolution (>12-b) is required. This is due to several advantages...

    Creator:
    Maghari, Nima
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are suitable for many applications due to several advantages such as relaxed anti-aliasing filter, high signal-to noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) and most important of all, reduced sensitivity to analog imperfections.This thesis introduces several structures to overcome loop imperfections and stability issues in delta-sigma modulators. First,...

    Creator:
    Wang, Jingguang
    Abstract:
    Multi-Gigahertz sampling rate Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) with 5-8 bits resolution are used in many signal communication applications. Unfortunately, the performance of the high speed ADC is limited by the timing accuracy of the sampling clock. A small sampling uncertainty can cause a large error in the sampled voltage and result...

    Creator:
    Bonu, Madhulatha
    Abstract:
    High performance multi-cell delta-sigma modulators are a preferred choice in applications which require programmability. Multi-cell delta-sigma modulators with M unit cells provide 10log10(M) SQNR improvement for the same thermal noise and bias power due to the uncorrelated quantization noises of the M unit ADCs. This concept is used in this...

    Creator:
    Wang, Tao
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a low-power high-resolution delta-sigma ADC. Two new architectural design techniques are proposed to reduce the power dissipation of the ADC. Compared to the conventional active adder, the direct charge transfer (DCT) adder greatly saves power by keeping the feedback factor of the active adder unity. However, the...
