  • 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...

  • A multi-bit delta sigma audio digital-to-analog converter

    Creator:
    Wang, Ruopeng
    Abstract:
    Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with wide dynamic range and high linearity are required for high-end audio applications. A multi-bit delta sigma audio DAC, using a novel gain-correction technique, is described in this thesis. For widely varying on-chip RC time constant, the DAC gain can be accurately controlled by the correction circuitry....

  • A comparative study of lowpass continuous-time delta-sigma modulators with pulse-shaped DACs

    Creator:
    Fang, Jie
    Abstract:
    Recently, continuous-time ΔΣ modulators are appearing increasingly often in both the literature and the marketplace due to their features of inherent antialiasing and relaxed requirements for opamp and so on. However, several nonideal factors such as clock jitter, excess loop delay, inter-symbol interference and so on, degrade the SNR performance...

  • A MOSCAP pipeline pseudo passive DAC

    Creator:
    Behera, Prachee Shree
    Abstract:
    The design of a 10-bit pipelined charge redistribution DAC employing MOSCAPs biased in their accumulation mode is presented in this thesis. A switched capacitor filter and output buffer have also been designed for the system. The effect of MOSCAP nonlinearity on the performance of the pipelined charge redistribution DAC has...

  • Low-voltage data converters

    Creator:
    Meng, Qingdong
    Abstract:
    With the growing demand for portable/consumer electronics, such as digital audio/video (AV), the downscaling of device dimensions, which enables the integration of an increasing number of transistors in a single chip, is mandatory. This trend also continuously pushes the power supply voltage down to reduce the power consumption and improve...

  • 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...

  • Architecture design of multiplexed incremental analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Zhang, Zhiqing
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-Digital Data Converters (ADCs) used in instrumentation and measurements often require high absolute accuracy, including excellent linearity and negligible dc offset. Incremental data converters (IDCs) provide a solution for such measurement applications. Since IDCs are essentially delta-sigma converters with reset operation before each conversion, they retain most of the advantages...

  • A wideband low-power continuous-time delta-sigma modulator for next generation wireless applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Xuefeng
    Abstract:
    Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are widely used in wireless transceivers. Recently, continuous-time (CT) ΔΣ ADCs gain growing interest in wireless applications for their lower power consumption and wider input bandwidth as compared with the discrete-time (DT) counterparts. In this thesis, a wideband low-power CT ΔΣ modulator for next generation...

  • Noise coupling techniques in multi-cell delta-sigma modulators

    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:
    Li, Zhimin
    Abstract:
    In recent years, there has been growing interest in both industry and academia to use continuous-time (CT) Δ-Σ A/D converters for wideband wireless and wireline communication applications. So far no reported CT Δ-Σ A/D modulator achieves 14-bit or higher dynamic range (DR) with more than 2MHz signal bandwidth (equivalently 4MS/s)....
