  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Design of high-performance pipeline analog-to-digital converters in low-voltage processes

    Creator:
    Myers, Charles Grant
    Abstract:
    Pipeline analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have long been used in high-speed systems for power-efficient data conversion. Broadband communication and video processing systems are placing high demands on converter accuracy and speed (above 14 bits and in the multiple-MHz range). The increasing converter requirements coupled with lower supply voltages in modern processes...

  • 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,...

  • Design techniques for radiation hardened-phase locked loops

    Creator:
    Nemmani, Anantha Nag
    Abstract:
    Spacecrafts experience radiation in the course of their operation and all electronic equipment on board these spacecrafts has to be designed to withstand the effects of this radiation. This thesis describes the effects of total ionization dose (TID) and single event transients (SET) in phase-locked loops - an important circuit...

  • A stochastic time-to-digital converter for digital phase-locked loops

    Creator:
    Ok, Kerem
    Abstract:
    Digital phase-locked loops (PLLs) have been receiving increasing attention recently due to their ease of integration, scalability and performance comparable to their analog counterparts. In digital PLLs, increased resolution in time-to-digital conversion is desirable for improved noise performance. This work describes the design and simulation of a stochastic time-to-digital converter...

  • 20-stage pipelined ADC with radix-based calibration

    Creator:
    Yun, Chong Kyu
    Abstract:
    A radix-based calibration technique was previously proposed with a two-stage algorithmic analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The objective of this work is to verify the capability of radix-based calibration for a true multi-stage ADC. In order to prove the idea, a single bit-per-stage, 20-stage pipelined ADC is designed in a 0.35-μm CMOS...

    Oh, Taehwan
    Abstract:
    As advanced wired and wireless communication systems attempt to achieve higher performance, the demand for high resolution and wide signal bandwidth in their associated ADCs is strongly increased. Recently, time-domain quantization has drawn attention from its scalability in deep submicron CMOS processes. Furthermore, there are several interesting aspects of time-domain...

  • Design techniques for low-voltage analog-to-digital converter

    Creator:
    Chang, Dong-Young
    Abstract:
    Continuous process scale-down and emerging markets for low-power/low-voltage mobile systems call for low-voltage analog integrated circuits. Switched-capacitor circuits are the building blocks for analog signal processing and will encounter severe overdrive problems when operating at low-voltage conditions. There are several well-known techniques to bypass the problem. These approaches include: (1)...
