  • 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....

  • Design techniques for low power ADCs

    Creator:
    Yu, Wenhuan
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents an incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with digital digital-to-analog converter (DAC) mismatch correction. A theoretical time-domain analysis technique was developed to predict the noise performance of the incremental ADC, and a new optimization technique was proposed to minimize the output noise. In the calibration mode, the incremental ADC...

  • Low-power double-sampled delta-sigma modulator for broadband applications

    Creator:
    Shen, Weilun
    Abstract:
    High speed and high resolution analog-to-digital converter is a key building block for broadband wireless communications, high definition video applications, medical images and so on. By leveraging the down scaling of the latest CMOS technology and the noise shaping properties, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADCs are able to achieve wide-band operation and...

  • Plasmonic color filter array, high performance analog to digital converter architectures and novel circuit techniques

    Creator:
    Shakya, Jyotindra R.
    Abstract:
    Part I: Plasmonic color filters can be manufactured at lower cost since they can be fabricated in single lithographic process step as compared to Fabry-Perot based filters. In addition, they have narrow passband making resolving sharp features in sample spectrum possible. Due to these benefits, in this thesis, Plasmonic color...

  • 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...

  • Error canceling low voltage SAR-ADC

    Creator:
    Wen, Jianping
    Abstract:
    The design of a switched capacitor successive approximation A/D converter is discussed in this thesis. This design adopts a novel capacitance mismatch error cancellation algorithm proposed in references [25, 27]. Detailed charge domain analysis is given in this thesis, which results in an improvement of the proposed algorithm by tracing...

  • The design of delta-sigma modulators for multi-standard RF receivers

    Creator:
    Liu, Mingliang
    Abstract:
    The transition from second-generation (2G) to third-generation (3G) wireless cellular and cordless telephone systems requires multi-standard adaptability in a single RF receiver equipment. An important answer to this request is the use of Delta-Sigma modulators for IF-to-baseband conversion, which will satisfy the dynamic range requirements for digital signal processing, and...

    Creator:
    Nishida, Yoshio
    Abstract:
    Although the digital revolution can realize many of past analog components in the digital forms, our world is surrounded with analog signals such as voice, temperature, etc. The bridge between these two worlds is one of key performance limitations among overall systems and it includes analog filters and data converters....

    Creator:
    Ma, Mengzhe
    Abstract:
    Recently, switched capacitor DC/DC converters are extensively used in portable electronic devices because they feature many advantages, such as high efficiency, small package, low quiescent current, minimal external components and low cost. In this thesis, two step-down switched capacitor DC/DC converters are designed. One has the fixed output options 1.5V,...

    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...
