  • Analysis and design of bandpass delta-sigma A/D converters

    Creator:
    Zhai, Dalun
    Abstract:
    A new approach to oversampled delta-sigma A/D converters ( AZ modulators ) is introduced, where a differential pseudo-Npath filter stage is used as a basic cell. In this band-pass application, the z to -zN transformation is employed to realize a RAM-type pseudo-2-path lossless integrator. The bandpass second-order and 4th-order delta-sigma...

  • Oversampling digital-to-analog converters

    Creator:
    Shu, Shaofeng
    Abstract:
    Oversampling and noise-shaping methods for digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion have been widely accepted as methods of choice in high performance data conversion applications. In this thesis, the fundamentals of D/A conversion and oversampling D/A conversion were discussed, along with the detailed analysis and comparison of the reported state-of-the-art oversampling D/A converters....

  • Design techniques of high-performance switched capacitor circuits in the presence of component imperfections

    Creator:
    Huang, Yunteng
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes design techniques for high-performance switched-capacitor (SC) circuits, primarily for high-linearity low-noise SC circuits in the presence of component imperfections, such as nonlinear op-amp voltage transfer characteristics, capacitor nonlinearities as well as the finite op-amp dc gain and op-amp offset and noise. Various correlated-double-sampling (CDS) schemes are discussed,...

  • MOSFET-only predictive track and hold circuit

    Creator:
    Qiu, Xiangping
    Abstract:
    High-accuracy and high-speed CMOS track-and-hold (T/H) or sample-and-hold (S/H) circuits are an important part of the analog-to-digital interface. The switched-capacitor (SC) circuits usually contain one or more op-amps whose dc offset, finite gain, finite bandwidth have a big impact on the accuracy of the track-and-hold circuit. Basic correlated double sampling...

  • High-linearity switched-capacitor circuits in digital CMOS technologies

    Creator:
    Yoshizawa, Hirokazu
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, novel design techniques have been proposed for implementing high-linearity SC circuits in a standard digital CMOS process. They use nonlinear MOSFET capacitors instead of linear double-poly capacitors. To reduce their nonlinearities, a bias voltage is applied to keep MOSFET capacitors in their accumulation regions. For further reduction...

  • Improved design techniques for low-voltage low-power switched-capacitor delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Grilo, Jorge
    Abstract:
    This dissertation investigates the constraints which arise when switched-capacitor (SC) delta-sigma modulators are designed for low-voltage operation, targeting also low power dissipation, and proposes methods of improving the performance and optimizing for low power dissipation. This is accomplished by identifying critical elements whose performance can lead to increased power dissipation,...

  • Compensation techniques for cascaded delta-sigma A/D converters and high-performance switched-capacitor circuits

    Creator:
    Sun, Tao
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes compensation techniques for cascaded delta-sigma A/D converters (ADCs) and high-performance switched-capacitor (SC) circuits. Various correlated-double-sampling (CDS) techniques are presented to reduce the effects of the nonidealities, such as clock feedthrough, charge injection, opamp input-referred noise and offset, and finite opamp gain, in SC circuits. A CDS technique...

    Creator:
    Wang, Bo, 1970-
    Abstract:
    The precise measurement of a capacitance difference or ratio in a digital form is very important for capacitive sensors, for CMOS process characterization as well as for the realization of precise switched-capacitor data converters, amplifiers and other circuits utilizing ratioed capacitors. This thesis introduces design techniques for on-chip capacitor ratio...

  • Low-voltage switched-capacitor circuits

    Creator:
    Bidari, Emad
    Abstract:
    In recent years, the rapidly growth of CMOS technology has evolved towards submicron and deep-submicron features. Due to smaller device sizes, and significant demand for low-power designs, the maximum allowable power supply voltage is restricted. So far, two solutions; clock boosting and switched opamp schemes have been proposed. The material...
