  • 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...

  • A multi-bit hybrid DSM over full-scale range without feedback DEM

    Creator:
    Kwon, Sunwoo, 1974-
    Abstract:
    Evolution of the mobile communication standards and proliferation of hand-held devices mandate stringent Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) specifications. Among various ADCs, a ∆Σ ADC is best known as a power-efficient ADC when more than 12b is required. However, a conventional discrete-time (DT) ∆Σ Modulator (∆ΣM) is inadequate for low-power wideband applications...

  • Influence of adjustable speed drive on induction motor fault detection using stator current monitoring.

    Creator:
    Al-Shahrani, Ali
    Abstract:
    The detection of motor faults at their incipient stage is of prime importance to any industrial plant. The introduction of adjustable speed drives has improved the control and the efficiency of induction motors, however, this has changed the nature of motor faults and how they can be detected. Current signature...

  • Detection of incipient rotor bar faults and air-gap asymmetries in squirrel-cage motors using stator current monitoring

    Creator:
    Al Tuaimi, Hamad A.
    Abstract:
    Preventative motor fault detection is of prime importance for modern plant management. During research into rotor faults, performed at the Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF), an optimized rotor fault detection and classification method was proposed. In critical process applications, the suggested method would provide the foundation for continually monitoring a...

  • 5th-Order Elliptic LPF Using Passive Charge Compensation Technique (PCC) Design

    Creator:
    Tsai, Cheng H.
    Abstract:
    The passive charge compensation (PCC) technique was introduced for switched capacitor (SC) circuit to increase the slew rate and enhance the linearity performance, as PCC techniques are used on the Delta-Sigma modulator (DSM) in ADC circuitry. The PCC technique of the project was applied to the design of a SC...

  • Continuous time input pipeline ADCs

    Creator:
    Gubbins, David Patrick
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) convert analog continuous time signals into discrete time, digital format. One precondition that must be met for conventional nyquist rate ADCs is that the input signal must be suitably band-limited to an input bandwidth less than the nyquist frequency. This mandates expensive anti-alias filters which contribute to...

  • 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...

    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...
