  • 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...

  • 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 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...

  • Adaptive, wideband analog-to-digital conversion for convergent communication systems

    Creator:
    Batten, Robert D., 1973-
    Abstract:
    The exponential rate of advances in modern communication devices in the last several years have brought us higher levels of functionality and performance as well as reductions in physical size and power consumption. To continue this rate of advancement, next generation systems require wider bandwidth and higher resolution ADCs. Additionally,...

  • 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...

  • Design techniques for low-voltage and low-power analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Ahn, Gil Cho
    Abstract:
    With the ever-increasing demand for portable devices used in applications such as wireless communication, mobile computing, consumer electronics, etc., the scaling of the CMOS process to deep submicron dimensions becomes more important to achieve low-cost, low-power and high-performance digital systems. However, this downscaling also requires similar shrinking of the supply...

  • Low-power design techniques for low-voltage analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Kim, Min Gyu
    Abstract:
    The demand for portable electronic systems and the continued down-scaling of device dimensions resulted in rapid improvement in the performance of integrated systems. Several low-voltage design techniques have been proposed to operate analog circuits with sub-1V supply. However, these techniques require higher power consumption to achieve large dynamic range while...

    Creator:
    Waters, Allen
    Abstract:
    A procedure for automating the design and layout of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is presented. This procedure makes use of the existing synthesis and place-and-route tools that are common in digital circuit design. A method for adding rudimentary analog cells to the standard library is described, allowing the designer to synthesize...

    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...

  • 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...
