  • Architecture design of multiplexed incremental analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Zhang, Zhiqing
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-Digital Data Converters (ADCs) used in instrumentation and measurements often require high absolute accuracy, including excellent linearity and negligible dc offset. Incremental data converters (IDCs) provide a solution for such measurement applications. Since IDCs are essentially delta-sigma converters with reset operation before each conversion, they retain most of the advantages...

  • A survey on continuous-time modulators : theory, designs and implementations

    Creator:
    Gao, Xiaoran
    Abstract:
    Recently, delta-sigma modulation has become a widely applied technique for high-performance analog-to-digital conversion of narrow-band signals. Most of the early designs used discrete-time structure for good accuracy and good linearity. The transfer functions are independent of the clock frequency. However, high unity-gain bandwidths of the opamps are required to satisfy...

  • A comparative study of lowpass continuous-time delta-sigma modulators with pulse-shaped DACs

    Creator:
    Fang, Jie
    Abstract:
    Recently, continuous-time ΔΣ modulators are appearing increasingly often in both the literature and the marketplace due to their features of inherent antialiasing and relaxed requirements for opamp and so on. However, several nonideal factors such as clock jitter, excess loop delay, inter-symbol interference and so on, degrade the SNR performance...

  • 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...

  • Generalized radix design techniques for low-power, low voltage pipelined and cyclic analog-digital converters

    Creator:
    Sharma, Vivek
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes a novel technique for the design of pipelined and cyclic ADCs utilizing generalized radix gain stages. Several models have been proposed for the optimization of high performance pipelined ADCs by various researchers. This work builds upon them, using a simple but accurate model to estimate the optimal...

  • Data driven optimization in SAR ADC

    Creator:
    Leung, Jerry
    Abstract:
    Recent publications show that successive approximation register (SAR) analog to digital converters (ADC) are capable of achieving high efficiency over other ADC topologies. Furthermore, techniques have been adopted to process signals with low activity periods, such as biomedical and industrial sensors. Prior work used least- significant bit first quantization (LSBFQ)...

  • Noise optimization for low-voltage CMOS audio preamplifier systems

    Creator:
    Brown, Matthew Eugene
    Abstract:
    There is a large and growing market for portable consumer audio products with very small size. As the size of these products is reduced, the area occupied by batteries becomes significant and hence limits the number of batteries to one. In order to build such small products, high levels of...

  • Design of a low jitter digital PLL with low input frequency

    Creator:
    Jung, Seokmin
    Abstract:
    Complex digital circuits such as microprocessors typically require support circuitry that has traditionally been realized using analog or mixed-signal macros. PLL circuits are used in many integrated applications such as frequency synthesizers and inter-chip communication interfaces. As process technologies advance and grow in complexity, the challenge of maintaining required analog...

  • Layout dependent and bias independent scalable substrate model for RF MOSFETs

    Creator:
    Suravarapu, Ravikanth
    Abstract:
    The dependence of the substrate resistance, R[subscript sub], for MOS transistor RF modeling on transistor biasing and layout is studied from device simulations and measurements. Though R[subscript sub] is found to be bias dependent, the error incurred by assuming a constant value equal to the DC resistance is not significant....

  • Measurement and characterization of ultra-wideband wireless interconnects within active computing systems

    Creator:
    Woracheewan, Sirikarn
    Abstract:
    Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio has become an attractive alternative for wireless communications due to the robustness to multipath fading, low power transmission, mostly-digital implementation, and low cost. Furthermore, short-range, high data-rates applications are possible with UWB radios due to the wide spectral allocations at 3.1 - 10.6 GHz. This thesis presents...
