  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Active Noise Shaping Analog-to-Digital Data Converters

    Creator:
    Shi, Lukang
    Abstract:
    Successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters are popular for medium accuracy, medium speed and low power applications, such as in biomedical applications. They have low latency and simple architecture compared with ΔΣ ADCs. This is because of SAR ADCs’ binary searching scheme. Furthermore, SAR ADCs can apply oversampling and noise shaping schemes...

  • A fully digital technique for the estimation and correction of the DAC error in multi-bit delta sigma ADCs

    Creator:
    Wang, Xuesheng
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes a novel fully digital technique for the estimation and correction of the DAC error in multi-bit delta sigma ADCs. The structure of the DAC error is indicated through a simple model for unit-element based DACs. The impact of the DAC error on the performance of ADC is...

  • Low power design techniques for high speed pipelined ADCs

    Creator:
    Lingam, Naga Sasidhar
    Abstract:
    Real world is analog but the processing of signals can best be done in digital domain. So the need for Analog to Digital Converters(ADCs) is ever rising as more and more applications set in. With the advent of mobile technology, power in electronic equipment is being driven down to get...

  • 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....

  • Correlated level shifting as a power-saving method to reduce the effects of finite DC gain and signal swing in opamps

    Creator:
    Gregoire, B. Robert
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents methods to reduce the effects of finite opamp DC gain, output voltage swing limitations in opamps, and component mismatches. The primary contribution of this thesis is a new switched-capacitor method named correlated level shifting (CLS). CLS enables true rail-to-rail operation by storing an estimate of the desired...

  • Area efficiency improvement of CMOS charge pump circuits

    Creator:
    Perigny, Ryan
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, the literature relating to charge pump dc-dc converters and their uses is reviewed. Charge pumps are useful in many circuits, including low-voltage circuits, dynamic random access memory circuits, switched-capacitor circuits, EEPROM's and transceivers. The important issues relating to charge pump design are power efficiency, output voltage ripple...

  • 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...

  • 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...
