  • A 90.5dB DR 1MHz BW Hybrid Two Step ADC with CT Incremental and SAR ADCs

    Creator:
    Wang, Yanchao
    Abstract:
    The sensors in real time data processing IoT devices require high resolution and sub-MHz data converters, usually implemented as Incremental ADCs due to the advantages of oversampling technique and low latency. In discrete time incremental (IDT) ADCs, the sampling switch non-linearity, charge injection degrade the resolution, and power hungry OPAMPs...

  • A CAD noise model for chopper-stabilized switched-capacitor filters

    Creator:
    Shenoy, Ravindra Umanath
    Abstract:
    A modeling technique for simulating the noise performance of chopper-stabilized switched-capacitor filters using SPICE2 is presented. A method for selection of switched-capacitor network (SCN) stages to be chopped and an op amp topology for low noise applications are also outlined. Validity of the modeling is verified by the close agreement...

  • A chopper-stablized CMOS operational amplifier

    Creator:
    Ann, Seung-Han
    Abstract:
    The chopper-stabilized operational amplifier has good low frequency noise properties. Unfortunately a simple technique for simulation of the chopper-stabilized operational amplifier has not been available. This thesis describes the implementation of a differential amplifier using chopper stabilization and its circuit modeling for the SPICE simulation. This circuit has been designed...

  • A CMOS differential line driver

    Creator:
    Jiang, William
    Abstract:
    A short-circuit-protected line-driver circuit is particularly adapted for use in a CMOS differential line-driver system, where one line-driver circuit provides a true output signal, and another line-driver circuit provides a complementary false output signal. A short-circuit is sensed by measuring current through a secondary pull-up transistor, and disabling a primary...

  • A delta-sigma pulse width modulator with pulse dithering

    Creator:
    Lewison, Richard S.
    Abstract:
    Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) has been used extensively for motor control, DC-AC converters, DC-DC converters and in audio applications. The conventional method of generating a pulse width modulated signal involves generating an accurate sawtooth or triangle wave using analog circuits. In CMOS, being analog circuit intensive puts extra constraints on...

  • A fast-settling folded-cascode CMOS operational amplifier

    Creator:
    Abu-Dayeh, Mahmoud A.
    Abstract:
    A fast-settling CMOS operational amplifier using the folded-cascode topology has been designed. The design is based on a theory developed by Yang et al for the optimum settling time of two-pole systems for switched-capacitor applications. The theory states that the two poles are separated by a given factor in order...

  • A Fully Integrated Bio-potential Low-noise Amplifier Utilizing Capacitor Multipliers

    Creator:
    Yong, OnnLim
    Abstract:
    In any biomedical signal acquisition system, a front-end amplifier is needed to amplify low amplitude bio-signals while filtering out any unwanted low-frequency artifacts. The design of low frequency poles within the sub-Hz range implies very large time-constants which goes against system integrability. In recent years, the pseudo resistor has been...

  • A high-swing class-AB CMOS operational amplifier

    Creator:
    Yu, Choung
    Abstract:
    A high-swing, high-linearity Class-AB CMOS operational amplifier suitable for high speed application is presented. It does not exhibit large-signal slewing effects as do others; its output current is limited by MOSFET aspect ratios and the total power supply voltage. A rail-to-rail common-mode input range is achieved by a topology which...

  • A high-swing CMOS operational amplifier topology

    Creator:
    Yang, John Jian
    Abstract:
    A circuit topology for high-swing, high-linearity CMOS operational amplifiers has been developed. The technique uses parallel-connected p- and n-channel input pairs to realize an input common-mode voltage range nearly equal to the total power supply voltage. High linearity is achieved by summing the DC bias and AC small-signal currents so...

  • A P-well GaAs MESFET technology

    Creator:
    Canfield, Philip C.
    Abstract:
    The semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) has many potential advantages over the more widely used semiconductor silicon (Si). These include higher low field mobility, semi-insulating substrates, a direct band-gap, and greater radiation hardness. All these advantages offer distinct opportunities for implementation of new circuit functions or extension of the operating conditions...
