  • Energy-efficient OTA architectures using load-pole cancellation

    Creator:
    Ramakrishna, Pavan Kumar
    Abstract:
    The CMOS two-stage Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) has been a key enabler for mixed-signal IC design for nearly four decades . This research focuses on a modified two-stage CMOS OTA that features load-pole cancellation (LPC); i.e., the resulting architecture is essentially a two-stage CMOS OTA with no load capacitance. The...

  • Power efficient analog-to-digital converters using both voltage and time domain information

    Creator:
    Oh, Taehwan
    Abstract:
    As advanced wired and wireless communication systems attempt to achieve higher performance, the demand for high resolution and wide signal bandwidth in their associated ADCs is strongly increased. Recently, time-domain quantization has drawn attention from its scalability in deep submicron CMOS processes. Furthermore, there are several interesting aspects of time-domain...

  • Architectural Solutions for Analog Imperfections in ΔΣ Analog-to-Digital Based Systems

    Creator:
    Zali Asl, Samira
    Abstract:
    For today’s ubiquitous portable devices, innovative integrated circuits with high performance yet very low power are necessary. As these devices are used to communicate and sense real world signals in the environment, analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and systems are the key interface circuits needed to digitize the sensed information and they...

  • A DC-DC converter architecture for low-power, high-resistance thermoelectric generators for use in body-powered designs

    Creator:
    Miller, Brian A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a low power DC-DC converter suitable for harvesting energy from high impedance thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for the use in body powered electronics. The chip has been fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology. To meet the power demands of body powered networks, a novel dual-path architecture capable of...

  • gm/ID Design Techniques for Low-power High-performance CMOS Analog Integrated Circuits

    Creator:
    Aueamnuay, Chaiyanut
    Abstract:
    The gm/ID-based design of analog integrated circuits introduced in 1996 employs an empirical transistor sizing methodology using SPICE-generated lookup tables that enables good agreement between simulations and specifications. This thesis introduces a new SPICE lookup table that extends the gm/ID approach to the Miller pole-splitting frequency compensation of the classical...

  • Design of low OSR, high precision analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Rajaee, Omid
    Abstract:
    Advances in electronic systems have lead to the demand for high resolution, high bandwidth Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). Oversampled ADCs are well- known for high accuracy applications since they benefit from noise shaping and they usually do not need highly accurate components. However, as a consequence of oversampling, they have limited...

  • Energy Harvesting and Power Management Integrated Circuits for Self-Sustaining Wearables

    Creator:
    Bose, Soumya
    Abstract:
    Harvesting energy from ambient sources can provide power autonomy to energy efficient electronics and sensors. The last decade has seen a multitude of ways to scavenge energy from various sources like solar, thermal, electromagnetic, electrostatic, piezo-electric and many more. Thermal energy from human body heat is ubiquitous and can be...

    Abstract:
    Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), which has been very attractive for future high rate wireless communications, is very robust to channel multipath fading effect while providing high transmission data rate with high spectral efficiency. Multiple antennas can be combined with OFDM to increase diversity gain and to improve spectral efficiency...
