    Creator:
    Lee, Ho-Young
    Abstract:
    Hand-held devices are among the most successful consumer electronics in modern society. Behind these successful devices, lies a key analog design technique that involves high-performance analog-to-digital conversion combined with very low power consumption. This dissertation presents two different approaches to achieving high power efficiency from a two-step pipelined architecture, which...

  • A tunable duty-cycle-controlled switched-R-MOSFET-C CMOS filter for low-voltage and high-linearity applications

    Creator:
    Xiao, Ying
    Abstract:
    A novel switched-R-MOSFET-C input branch is proposed for low-voltage and high-linearity applications. The tunability is achieved by varying the clock duty cycle using an automatic tuning circuit. This tuning method does not involve a change in gate voltage, and is therefore particularly suitable for low-voltage applications. The advantages of the...

  • Design techniques for clocking high performance signaling systems

    Creator:
    Hanumolu, Pavan Kumar
    Abstract:
    Scaling of CMOS technology has progressed relentlessly for the past several decades. In order for this unprecedented scaling to benefit the performance of large digital systems, the communication bandwidth between integrated circuits (ICs) must scale accordingly. However, interconnect technology does not scale as aggressively, making communication between chips the major...

  • Automated verilog-to-layout synthesis of ADCs using custom analog cells

    Creator:
    Waters, Allen
    Abstract:
    A procedure for automating the design and layout of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is presented. This procedure makes use of the existing synthesis and place-and-route tools that are common in digital circuit design. A method for adding rudimentary analog cells to the standard library is described, allowing the designer to synthesize...

  • Low voltage switched capacitor circuits for lowpass and bandpass [delta sigma] converters

    Creator:
    Keskin, Mustafa
    Abstract:
    The most accurate method for performing analog signal processing in MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) integrated circuits is through the use of switched-capacitor circuits. A switched-capacitor circuit operates as a discrete-time signal processor. These circuits have been used in a variety of applications, such as filters, gain stages, voltage-controlled oscillators, and modulators. A...

  • 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...

    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....

    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...

    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)...
