  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Design techniques for time based data converters

    Creator:
    Gande, Manideep
    Abstract:
    Modern day CMOS processes are characterized by voltage scaling and geometry scaling. Geometry scaling helps reduce gate delays, thereby aiding in the design of data converters which use time based processing. Another artifact of geometry scaling is the increase in complexity of digital circuitry available on traditional analog ICs, as...

  • Low power design techniques for analog-to-digital converters in submicron CMOS

    Creator:
    Musah, Tawfiq
    Abstract:
    Advances in process technologies have led to the development of low-power high speed digital signal processing blocks that occupy small areas. These advances are critical in the development of portable electronic devices with small feature size and long battery life. However, the design of analog and mixed-signal building blocks, especially...

  • 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...

  • 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 compensation techniques for analog inaccuracies in delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters, Architectural compensation techniques for analog inaccuracies in ΔΣanalog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Maghari, Nima
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are suitable for many applications due to several advantages such as relaxed anti-aliasing filter, high signal-to noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) and most important of all, reduced sensitivity to analog imperfections.This thesis introduces several structures to overcome loop imperfections and stability issues in delta-sigma modulators. First,...

  • Time and statistical information utilization in high efficiency sub-micron CMOS successive approximation analog to digital converters

    Creator:
    Guerber, Jon
    Abstract:
    In an industrial and consumer electronic marketplace that is increasingly demanding greater real-world interactivity in portable and distributed devices, analog to digital converter efficiency and performance is being carefully examined. The successive approximation (SAR) analog to digital converter (ADC) architecture has become popular for its high efficiency at mid-speed and...

  • 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...

    Creator:
    Sun, Tao
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes compensation techniques for cascaded delta-sigma A/D converters (ADCs) and high-performance switched-capacitor (SC) circuits. Various correlated-double-sampling (CDS) techniques are presented to reduce the effects of the nonidealities, such as clock feedthrough, charge injection, opamp input-referred noise and offset, and finite opamp gain, in SC circuits. A CDS technique...
