  • A dual-path 2-0 MASH ADC with dual digital error correction

    Creator:
    Zhang, Zhenyong
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents a dual-path 2-0 MASH (Multi-stAge-noise -SHaping) ADC with two verified digital corrections of DAC mismatch error and quantization noise leakage. By using these two techniques, the requirements for the analog circuits are greatly relaxed. The dual-path structure generates two outputs, one only composed of conversion errors, the...

  • 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...

  • Power Efficient Architectures for Low Noise Switched-Capacitor Filters and High Accuracy Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Payandehnia, Pedram
    Abstract:
    Filters and data converters are key analog-and-mixed-signal (AMS) building blocks in communication systems, such as software-defined radios and internet-of-things. In this dissertation, novel switched-capacitor filter and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit configurations have been explored which are power efficient and are digital scaling friendly. First, a novel switched-capacitor low-pass filter architecture...

    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...

  • 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...

  • Lowpass and bandpass current-mode delta-sigma DACs employing mismatch-shaping

    Creator:
    Shui, Tao, 1969-
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma modulators are currently a very popular technique for making high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). These oversampled data converters have several advantages over conventional Nyquist-rate converters, including an insensitivity to many analog component imperfections, a simpler antialiasing filter and reduced accuracy requirements in the sample and hold....

  • Design and analysis techniques for nano-joule ADCs and sampling linearity

    Creator:
    Brown, Thomas (Thomas William)
    Abstract:
    Two aspects of ADC system performance are addressed in this work. First, the combination of the ADC and its associated reference are co-designed for an energy constrained remote sensing system. Second, sampling linearity is mathematically analyzed as a function of frequency to provide enhanced understanding into an ADC's requisite sampling...

  • Digital Friendly Continuous-Time Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Maghami, Hamidreza
    Abstract:
    Conventional Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) utilize operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) in their loop filter implementation followed by multi-bit voltage domain quantizers. As CMOS integrated circuit technology scales to smaller geometries, the minimum transistor length and the intrinsic gain of the transistors decrease. Moreover, with process scaling the voltage headroom decreases...

  • 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...
