  • A new data encoding scheme for equalization - Integrated Pulse Width Modulation (iPWM)

    Creator:
    Ramachandran, Ashwin
    Abstract:
    This work presents a new data encoding scheme: Integrated Pulse Width Modulation (iPWM) for equalizing lossy wireline channels with the aim of achieving energy efficient wireline communication. The proposed scheme is able to overcome the fundamental limitations imposed by Manchester and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) encoding on high data rate...

  • Design of 28 GHz Low-Power Phased-Array Receiver Frontend in CMOS

    Creator:
    Garg, Robin
    Abstract:
    This work presents the design and implementation of a low power phased-array receiver frontend at 28 GHz in 65 nm CMOS. The frontend incorporates a low- power low-noise amplifier(LNA) and a passive reflection-type phase shifter (RTPS) capable of providing 360° phase shift with 5-bit phase resolution and low loss variation....

  • Design techniques for VCO based digital sensor readout circuits

    Creator:
    Prabha, Praveen
    Abstract:
    Sensors find a variety of applications in portable electronics, automotive and biomedical solutions. The demand for low power and high dynamic range makes the design of digital sensor readout circuits quite challenging. Traditionally, these circuits are realized using amplifiers with passive feedback or precision analog comparators which are power hungry...

  • Design techniques for delta sigma modulators using VCO based ADCs

    Creator:
    Reddy, Karthikeyan
    Abstract:
    VCO-based ADCs have recently emerged as attractive alternative to conventional DeltaSigma (ΔΣ) modulator architectures. Few salient features of a VCObased ADC are: 1) the quantization noise is 1st order noise shaped, 2) it is an open loop architecture, and, 3) its implementation is mostly digital in nature. Hence, they are...

  • Wideband and high accuracy delta sigma modulation data converter

    Creator:
    Jung, Youngho
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, needs for wideband and high accuracy analog-to-digital converter are increasing rapidly in manifold applications such as wireless communication, digital video and other consumer electronics. Besides, low power consumption is required to have longer battery life in portable systems. CMOS technology scaling and innovative modulator topology make the implementation much...

  • Linearizing techniques for voltage controlled oscillator based analog to digital converters

    Creator:
    Rao, Sachin B.
    Abstract:
    Voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based ADC is an important class of time-domain ADC that has gained widespread acceptance due to their several desirable properties. VCO-based ADCs behave like an open-loop continuous time ΔΣ modulator and achieve excellent resolution by first order noise shaping the quantization error. However, the SNDR of...
