  • Low-power design techniques for low-voltage analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Kim, Min Gyu
    Abstract:
    The demand for portable electronic systems and the continued down-scaling of device dimensions resulted in rapid improvement in the performance of integrated systems. Several low-voltage design techniques have been proposed to operate analog circuits with sub-1V supply. However, these techniques require higher power consumption to achieve large dynamic range while...

  • 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...

  • High-performance delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    da Silva, Jose Barreiro
    Abstract:
    Multi-stage delta-sigma (ΔΣ) architectures, commonly known as MASH, are the preferred choice for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) used in broadband communication applications, where high-resolution (above 14 bits) and high-bandwidth (several MHz) performances are required. Current state-of-the-art designs are capable of as much as 5-MS/s output data rates with 90-dB SNR. However,...

  • A multi-bit hybrid DSM over full-scale range without feedback DEM

    Creator:
    Kwon, Sunwoo, 1974-
    Abstract:
    Evolution of the mobile communication standards and proliferation of hand-held devices mandate stringent Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) specifications. Among various ADCs, a ∆Σ ADC is best known as a power-efficient ADC when more than 12b is required. However, a conventional discrete-time (DT) ∆Σ Modulator (∆ΣM) is inadequate for low-power wideband applications...

  • High-speed CMOS dual-modulus presalers for frequency synthesis

    Creator:
    Desikachari, Ranganathan
    Abstract:
    Phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers lie at the heart of most radio transceivers. An important objective of the electronics and communications industry is to design high-speed building blocks which dissipate the lowest possible power, and to ac- complish this with the cheapest technology. The dual-modulus prescaler is one of the...

  • Low power design techniques for analog-to-digital converters in submicron CMOS

    Creator:
    Musah, Tawfiq
    Abstract:
    Advances in process technologies have led to the development of low-power high speed digital signal processing blocks that occupy small areas. These advances are critical in the development of portable electronic devices with small feature size and long battery life. However, the design of analog and mixed-signal building blocks, especially...

  • Generalized radix design techniques for low-power, low voltage pipelined and cyclic analog-digital converters

    Creator:
    Sharma, Vivek
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes a novel technique for the design of pipelined and cyclic ADCs utilizing generalized radix gain stages. Several models have been proposed for the optimization of high performance pipelined ADCs by various researchers. This work builds upon them, using a simple but accurate model to estimate the optimal...

    Creator:
    Guerber, Jon
    Abstract:
    In an industrial and consumer electronic marketplace that is increasingly demanding greater real-world interactivity in portable and distributed devices, analog to digital converter efficiency and performance is being carefully examined. The successive approximation (SAR) analog to digital converter (ADC) architecture has become popular for its high efficiency at mid-speed and...

  • Low noise clocking for high speed serial links

    Creator:
    Brownlee, Merrick
    Abstract:
    As the functionality of digital chips continues to increase dramatically, chip- to-chip communication bandwidths must scale accordingly to avoid constraining the overall system performance. Therefore, high speed transceiver design has be- come an important research topic. In particular, the performance of the circuits that are responsible for timing accuracy are...
