  • Oversampling digital-to-analog converters

    Creator:
    Shu, Shaofeng
    Abstract:
    Oversampling and noise-shaping methods for digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion have been widely accepted as methods of choice in high performance data conversion applications. In this thesis, the fundamentals of D/A conversion and oversampling D/A conversion were discussed, along with the detailed analysis and comparison of the reported state-of-the-art oversampling D/A converters....

  • 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...

  • 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....

  • A multi-bit delta sigma audio digital-to-analog converter

    Creator:
    Wang, Ruopeng
    Abstract:
    Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with wide dynamic range and high linearity are required for high-end audio applications. A multi-bit delta sigma audio DAC, using a novel gain-correction technique, is described in this thesis. For widely varying on-chip RC time constant, the DAC gain can be accurately controlled by the correction circuitry....

  • Multi-bit delta-sigma switched-capacitor DACs employing element-mismatch-shaping

    Creator:
    Lin, Haiqing
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma modulators are currently a very popular technique for making high-resolution analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters (ADCs and DACs). Most delta-sigma modulators in production today employ single-bit quantization because a 1-bit DAC is inherently linear, whereas a multi-bit DAC is not. Were it not for this drawback, the use of multi-bit...

  • A fully digital technique for the estimation and correction of the DAC error in multi-bit delta sigma ADCs

    Creator:
    Wang, Xuesheng
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes a novel fully digital technique for the estimation and correction of the DAC error in multi-bit delta sigma ADCs. The structure of the DAC error is indicated through a simple model for unit-element based DACs. The impact of the DAC error on the performance of ADC is...

  • Linearity enhancement techniques for data converters

    Creator:
    Cao, Jinzhou
    Abstract:
    Data converters are essential interface circuits between the analog world that people live in and the digital processors that people live with. Linearity, which often is a tradeoff against other performance criteria, is one of the major performance demands from applications for both analog-to-digital converts (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC)....

    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents an incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with digital digital-to-analog converter (DAC) mismatch correction. A theoretical time-domain analysis technique was developed to predict the noise performance of the incremental ADC, and a new optimization technique was proposed to minimize the output noise. In the calibration mode, the incremental ADC...
