  • A 1V 40mA Fast Transient Capless LDO with 7uA Quiescent Current in 180nm CMOS using Ring Amplifier with Adaptive Damping

    Creator:
    Xiao, Bohui
    Abstract:
    Ring amplification has emerged as an efficient technique to drive large capacitive loads in switched capacitor circuits. We propose circuit techniques to demonstrate the first application of a ring amplifier in a non-capacitive feedback system of a LDO. These techniques enable a simple cap-less LDO structure in 180nm CMOS that...

  • Ring Amplifier Design Techniques for High-Precision and High-Speed Amplification

    Creator:
    Leuenberger, Spencer
    Abstract:
    Demands of today's integrated society dependent on communication systems have driven the creation of ever more efficient analog-to-digital converters. For the same reasons, digital circuitry has rapidly expanded to serve all the different systems and needs of consumers. The trend of technology development has been to make these digital circuits...

  • Dynamic biasing for ring amplification

    Creator:
    Farahbakhshian, Farshad
    Abstract:
    New amplifier architectures are presented using non-traditional methods of biasing. Time-based dynamic biasing and signal-based dynamic biasing are discussed in the context of new architectures. This includes a new form of ring amplification with a dynamic deadzone, allowing for a structure whose coarse path does not consume static power.

  • Efficient use of time information in analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Hu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Time-domain data conversion has recently drawn increased research attention for its highly digital nature in favor of process technology scaling. Also, as the time information being carried by binary voltage, time-domain operation is much less sensitive to voltage noise compared to conventional voltage domain operation. However, for analog-to-digital converter (ADC)...

  • Power-Efficient Design Techniques and Architectures for Scalable Submicron Analog Circuits

    Creator:
    Xu, Yang
    Abstract:
    As the CMOS process scales down to submicron, digital circuit performance improves, while reduced supply voltage and lower transistor intrinsic gain make it difficult to implement analog circuits in a power efficient manner. Therefore, it has become advantageous to shift more analog signal processing functions conventionally realized in voltage (analog)...

    Creator:
    Muhlestein, Jason, Russell
    Abstract:
    The internet-of-things is a growing market segment which is based on an arrayof portable communication devices with high power efficiency. Advanced semiconductortechnology can easily improve their digital performance, but the samecannot be said for the analog blocks which are vital to their operation. Highperformance analog circuits continue to use conventional...

  • Ring Amplifier Optimized for High Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converter Applications

    Creator:
    ElShater, Ahmed O.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, SAR ADCs have been shown to acheive faster conversion times and improved power efficiencies due to their simple building blocks that are digital in nature and scale favorably with technology. High resolution ADCs with stringent noise requirement has led to the adoption of hybrid ADC architectures such...

  • Design techniques for time based data converters

    Creator:
    Gande, Manideep
    Abstract:
    Modern day CMOS processes are characterized by voltage scaling and geometry scaling. Geometry scaling helps reduce gate delays, thereby aiding in the design of data converters which use time based processing. Another artifact of geometry scaling is the increase in complexity of digital circuitry available on traditional analog ICs, as...
