Design techniques for low-voltage and low-power analog-to-digital converters

Creator:

Ahn, Gil Cho

Abstract:

With the ever-increasing demand for portable devices used in applications such as wireless communication, mobile computing, consumer electronics, etc., the scaling of the CMOS process to deep submicron dimensions becomes more important to achieve low-cost, low-power and high-performance digital systems. However, this downscaling also requires similar shrinking of the supply...

Dissertation
Enhanced-accuracy oversampled data converters

Creator:

Ceballos, Jose Luis

Abstract:

Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) suffer from static and dynamic nonlinearity problems, which degrade their accuracy and performance. Mismatch errors in the analog components restrict the maximum achievable linearity. This thesis presents various techniques for correcting these errors. It describes a correction process for the nonlinear behavior of DACs, on three different...

Inductors in high-performance silicon radio frequency integrated circuits : analysis, modeling, and design considerations

Creator:

Lutz, Richard D., Jr

Abstract:

Spiral inductors are a key component of mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits (IC's). Such circuits are often fabricated using silicon-based technology, owing to the inherent low-cost and high volume production aspects. However, semiconducting substrate materials such as silicon can have adverse effects on spiral inductor performance due to the lossy...
