  • Noise coupling techniques in multi-cell delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Bonu, Madhulatha
    Abstract:
    High performance multi-cell delta-sigma modulators are a preferred choice in applications which require programmability. Multi-cell delta-sigma modulators with M unit cells provide 10log10(M) SQNR improvement for the same thermal noise and bias power due to the uncorrelated quantization noises of the M unit ADCs. This concept is used in this...

  • 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...

  • Low-power high-linearity digital-to-analog converters

    Creator:
    Kuo, Ming-Hung
    Abstract:
    In this thesis work, a design of 14-bit, 20MS/s segmented digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is presented. The segmented DAC uses switched-capacitor configuration to implement 8 (LSB) + 6 (MSB) segmented architecture to achieve high performance for minimum area. The implemented LSB DAC is based on quasi-passive pipelined DAC that has been...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • A wideband low-power continuous-time delta-sigma modulator for next generation wireless applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Xuefeng
    Abstract:
    Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are widely used in wireless transceivers. Recently, continuous-time (CT) ΔΣ ADCs gain growing interest in wireless applications for their lower power consumption and wider input bandwidth as compared with the discrete-time (DT) counterparts. In this thesis, a wideband low-power CT ΔΣ modulator for next generation...

  • High-accuracy circuits for on-chip capacitor ratio testing and sensor readout

    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...

  • 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,...

    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...
