  • Silencer! : a tool for substrate noise coupling analysis

    Creator:
    Birrer, Patrick
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents Silencer!, a fully automated, schematic-driven tool for substrate noise coupling simulation and analysis. It has been integrated in the CADENCE DFII environment and seamlessly enables substrate coupling analysis in a standard mixed-signal design flow. Silencer! aids IC designers in the analysis of substrate noise coupling at different...

  • Design of a variable gain, high linearity, low power baseband filter for WLAN transmitters

    Creator:
    Ranganathan, Sachin
    Abstract:
    A variable gain, high linearity, low power baseband filter for WLAN applications is implemented in a 1.5 V 3 V 0.15 μm CMOS process. This fourth-order low-pass filter, which is introduced in the transmit channel as a reconstruction filter between the D/A converter and the mixer, has a measured cut-off...

  • Generalizing WYSIWYT for use in the screen transition paradigm

    Creator:
    Brown, Darren
    Abstract:
    How can rigorous forms of testing be supported in a way that is both compatible with the visual aspect of visual programming languages, and usable by the audiences using those languages - even when the audience has no background in software engineering? Visual programs are likely to contain at least...

  • Design of high efficiency step-down switched capacitor DC/DC converter

    Creator:
    Ma, Mengzhe
    Abstract:
    Recently, switched capacitor DC/DC converters are extensively used in portable electronic devices because they feature many advantages, such as high efficiency, small package, low quiescent current, minimal external components and low cost. In this thesis, two step-down switched capacitor DC/DC converters are designed. One has the fixed output options 1.5V,...

  • The design of delta-sigma modulators for multi-standard RF receivers

    Creator:
    Liu, Mingliang
    Abstract:
    The transition from second-generation (2G) to third-generation (3G) wireless cellular and cordless telephone systems requires multi-standard adaptability in a single RF receiver equipment. An important answer to this request is the use of Delta-Sigma modulators for IF-to-baseband conversion, which will satisfy the dynamic range requirements for digital signal processing, and...

  • p-type transparent electronics

    Creator:
    Valencia, Melinda Marie
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of p-type materials for transparent electronics applications. Thin films of ®-BaCu2S2, a p-type semi-transparent semiconductor, are fabricated and characterized. ®-BaCu2S2 has a transmittance of 60% to 80 % in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The mobility, conductivity,...

  • A DSP controlled multi-level inverter providing DC-link voltage balancing, ride-through enhancement and common-mode voltage elimination

    Creator:
    Dai, Shaoan
    Abstract:
    With the development of high performance power electronic and semiconductor technologies, Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD) systems are increasingly applied in residential, commercial and industrial applications. Due to the advantages at higher power ratings, the three-level Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is being employed in industrial and traction applications, static...

  • Accuracy enhancement techniques in low-voltage high-speed pipelined ADC design

    Creator:
    Li, Jipeng
    Abstract:
    Pipelined analog to digital converters (ADCs) are very important building blocks in many electronic systems such as high quality video systems, high performance digital communication systems and high speed data acquisition systems. The rapid development of these applications is driving the design of pipeline ADCs towards higher speed, higher dynamic...

  • Comparison and analysis of jitter in CMOS ring oscillators

    Creator:
    Natesan, Peroly
    Abstract:
    A comparison and analysis of jitter for five different architectures of ring oscillators using a novel simulation technique developed by Professor Forbes' group is presented. Ring oscillators have become an essential building block in many digital and synchronous communications system due to their integrated nature and are widely used in...

  • Accurately tunable low-voltage continuous-time filters

    Creator:
    Vemulapalli, Gowtham
    Abstract:
    A tuning technique which tunes the continuous time filter very accurately is proposed in this thesis. This technique overcomes the problem of master slave mismatch, thus tuning the filter accurately. The mismatch minimization is done on power up on foreground while the background tuning is always operational. Once the mismatch...
