  • 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 10 bit algorithmic A/D converter for a biosensor

    Creator:
    Rengachari, Thirumalai
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel algorithmic A/D converter to be used in a biosensor. The converter is capable of a conversion rate of 1.5 bits/phase and hence the required conversion time is reduced. The proposed architecture is analyzed for non-ideal effects and compared with existing algorithmic A/D architectures. The converter...

  • 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...

  • Low-voltage pipeline A/D converter

    Creator:
    Wu, Lei
    Abstract:
    Continuous process scale-down and emerging markets for low-power/low-voltage mobile systems call for low-voltage analog integrated circuits. Switched-capacitor (SC) circuits are the building blocks for analog signal processing and will encounter severe overdrive problems when operating at low voltage conditions. There exist three techniques to solve the problem, but with their...

  • Digital implementation of a mismatch-shaping successive-approximation ADC

    Creator:
    Coe, Matthew T.
    Abstract:
    Utilizing a two-capacitor topology, the digital implementation of an audio-band successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is explored in the context of mismatch-shaping where the mismatch estimates are accurate to the first order. A second-order Δ∑ loop was found to be effective in system simulations given a 0.1% capacitor mismatch. Spectral analysis...

  • A multi-bit delta sigma audio digital-to-analog converter

    Creator:
    Wang, Ruopeng
    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....

  • Area efficient D/A converters for accurate DC operation

    Creator:
    Greenley, Brandon Royce
    Abstract:
    The design of mixed-signal integrated circuits has evolved from simple analog and digital circuits operating on the same silicon substrate to the point that now we have complete system on a chip solutions for communication systems. The levels of integration needed to remain cost effective in today's integrated circuit (IC)...

  • A continuous time frequency translating delta Sigma Modulator

    Creator:
    Pulincherry, Anurag
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a continuous time bandpass delta sigma modulator with frequency translation inside the delta sigma loop. The input IF signal is down converted to baseband after amplification by a low Q, wideband bandpass resonator. The down converted IF signal is digitized by a continuous time, second order lowpass...

  • 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...
