  • Low-voltage data converters

    Creator:
    Meng, Qingdong
    Abstract:
    With the growing demand for portable/consumer electronics, such as digital audio/video (AV), the downscaling of device dimensions, which enables the integration of an increasing number of transistors in a single chip, is mandatory. This trend also continuously pushes the power supply voltage down to reduce the power consumption and improve...

  • Linearity enhancement techniques for data converters

    Creator:
    Cao, Jinzhou
    Abstract:
    Data converters are essential interface circuits between the analog world that people live in and the digital processors that people live with. Linearity, which often is a tradeoff against other performance criteria, is one of the major performance demands from applications for both analog-to-digital converts (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC)....

  • A study of basic building blocks of analog-to-digital delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Guo, Yuhua
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, a novel Direct-Charge-Transfer (DCT) integrator structure is proposed, which can settle much faster than regular switch-capacitor integrators. A new Spread-Spectrum Dynamic Element Matching (SS-DEM) algorithm is also introduced, which can effectively spread or shape the nonlinearity error of multi-bit DAC in the feedback path, thus improve the...

  • 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 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 high-resolution delta-sigma ADC design techniques

    Creator:
    Wang, Tao
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a low-power high-resolution delta-sigma ADC. Two new architectural design techniques are proposed to reduce the power dissipation of the ADC. Compared to the conventional active adder, the direct charge transfer (DCT) adder greatly saves power by keeping the feedback factor of the active adder unity. However, the...

  • High efficiency delta-sigma modulation data converters

    Creator:
    Lee, Kyehyung
    Abstract:
    Enabled by continued device scaling in CMOS technology, more and more functions that were previously realized in separate chips are getting integrated on a single chip nowadays. Integration on silicon has opened the door to new portable wireless applications, and initiated a widespread use of these devices in our common...

  • Power Efficient Architectures for Low Noise Switched-Capacitor Filters and High Accuracy Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Payandehnia, Pedram
    Abstract:
    Filters and data converters are key analog-and-mixed-signal (AMS) building blocks in communication systems, such as software-defined radios and internet-of-things. In this dissertation, novel switched-capacitor filter and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit configurations have been explored which are power efficient and are digital scaling friendly. First, a novel switched-capacitor low-pass filter architecture...

  • Power Efficient Architectures for Medium-high Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Sadollahi, Mahmoud
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-digital converters are essential components to the portable devices that we are using today. Wireless sensors, body implanted devices, communication devices and so forth require low power ADCs. Therefore achieving higher resolution and bandwidth with lower power consumption is targeted in ADCs design. In this work power efficient ADCs for...
