  • A comparative study between sinusoidal and squarewave clocking for alleviating the jitter limitation in multi-gigaHertz ADCs

    Creator:
    Kesharwani, Divya
    Abstract:
    Various applications like wireless UWB communication, fast data acquisition systems and digital storage oscilloscopes needs ADCs with instantaneous input signal bandwidth from 0.1-40 GigaHertz range with 6-10 bits of resolution -- a challenging task and an impressive goal to achieve. Flash ADCs have been conventionally employed to achieve these goals...

  • Design of a 1.8-V 14-bit [delta] - [sigma] A/D converter with 8X oversampling and 4 MHz Nyquist output rate

    Creator:
    Jiang, Ruoxin
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a new Δ∑ A/D converter is presented that is ideally suited for communication applications. It is based on a single-loop single-stage structure, which can realize a high maximum out-of-band quantization noise gain while maintaining stable operation and thus achieve 14-bit resolution at 8 times oversampling. A fifth-order...

  • Design of low power 2.4GHz CMOS LC balanced oscillators with low phase noise and large tuning range

    Creator:
    Seshan, Nilakantan
    Abstract:
    The design of two 2.4GHz CMOS LC balanced oscillators in the 0.25μm National BiCMOS process for Bluetooth specifications is presented. These oscillators achieve low phase noise with low power consumption. At a frequency offset of 500KHz from the 2.11GHz carrier, the measured phase noise is -101.9dBc/Hz for the NMOS oscillator...

  • Enhanced-accuracy oversampled data converters

    Creator:
    Ceballos, Jose Luis
    Abstract:
    Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) suffer from static and dynamic nonlinearity problems, which degrade their accuracy and performance. Mismatch errors in the analog components restrict the maximum achievable linearity. This thesis presents various techniques for correcting these errors. It describes a correction process for the nonlinear behavior of DACs, on three different...

  • 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...

  • Design techniques for PVT tolerant phase-locked loops

    Creator:
    Wu, Ting
    Abstract:
    The continued scaling of deep-submicron CMOS technology enables low-voltage high-frequency phase-locked loops (PLLs) to be fully integrated in complex mixed-signal systems. However, fluctuations due to the manufacturing process and variations in environmental conditions, such as supply voltage and temperature, are also significantly increased. As a result, the performance of PLLs...

  • 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...

  • Time-based noise-shaping techniques for time-to-digital and analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Young, Brian LeRoy
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, time-based signal processing techniques and their applications in oversampling and noise-shaping data converters are examined. These techniques demonstrate the ability to shift the burden of high performance analog circuits from the compressed voltage-domain to the augmented time-domain. First, the potential of high order noise-shaping and phase-domain feedback...

  • Efficient use of time information in analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Hu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Time-domain data conversion has recently drawn increased research attention for its highly digital nature in favor of process technology scaling. Also, as the time information being carried by binary voltage, time-domain operation is much less sensitive to voltage noise compared to conventional voltage domain operation. However, for analog-to-digital converter (ADC)...

  • Equivalent circuit modeling of on-chip magnetic devices based on terminal measurements

    Creator:
    Gaskill, Steven G.
    Abstract:
    The addition of thin-film alloy magnetic materials to integrated circuit processing enables a number of novel monolithic circuits. Examples include fully integrated magnetic field sensors, signal and power galvanic isolation circuits, and power supplies on chip (PwrSoC). There are several benefits to integrating these traditionally off-chip devices, including improved manufacturability,...
