  • Low-power high-linearity digital-to-analog converters

    Creator:
    Kuo, Ming-Hung
    Abstract:
    In this thesis work, a design of 14-bit, 20MS/s segmented digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is presented. The segmented DAC uses switched-capacitor configuration to implement 8 (LSB) + 6 (MSB) segmented architecture to achieve high performance for minimum area. The implemented LSB DAC is based on quasi-passive pipelined DAC that has been...

  • A comparative study of lowpass continuous-time delta-sigma modulators with pulse-shaped DACs

    Creator:
    Fang, Jie
    Abstract:
    Recently, continuous-time ΔΣ modulators are appearing increasingly often in both the literature and the marketplace due to their features of inherent antialiasing and relaxed requirements for opamp and so on. However, several nonideal factors such as clock jitter, excess loop delay, inter-symbol interference and so on, degrade the SNR performance...

  • A MOSCAP pipeline pseudo passive DAC

    Creator:
    Behera, Prachee Shree
    Abstract:
    The design of a 10-bit pipelined charge redistribution DAC employing MOSCAPs biased in their accumulation mode is presented in this thesis. A switched capacitor filter and output buffer have also been designed for the system. The effect of MOSCAP nonlinearity on the performance of the pipelined charge redistribution DAC has...

  • Low Frequency Oscillation Reduction Algorithm for Six-step Operation of Three-Phase Inverters

    Creator:
    Ke, Ziwei
    Abstract:
    A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that converts direct currents (DC) to alternating currents (AC) in the power electronics family. A three-phase inverter converts DC current to three-phase AC current. Inverters, especially three-phase inverters, have been widely used in many fields including renewable energy applications...

  • Digital implementation of a mismatch-shaping successive-approximation ADC

    Creator:
    Coe, Matthew T.
    Abstract:
    Utilizing a two-capacitor topology, the digital implementation of an audio-band successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is explored in the context of mismatch-shaping where the mismatch estimates are accurate to the first order. A second-order Δ∑ loop was found to be effective in system simulations given a 0.1% capacitor mismatch. Spectral analysis...

  • Limitations and optimization of a blind calibration algorithm for nonlinearity in analog to digital converters

    Creator:
    Coker, Brandilyn
    Abstract:
    Analog to digital converters (ADCs) are a critical part of communication between the physical world and the increasingly digital systems humans use every day. ADCs have inherent non-idealities that degrade performance. Nonlinearity is one of the most prevalent non-idealities that designers face. While calibration methods for nonlinearity exist in the...

  • Compensation method of the excess loop delay in continuous-time delta-sigma ADCs based on model matching approach

    Creator:
    Guo, Jia
    Abstract:
    Continues-Time (CT) Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) have one important constrain, namely the excess loop delay. Most previous excess lop delay compensation methods need to know the exact value of the excess loop delay in advance. However, the value of the excess loop delay is a uniformly distribution random variable....

  • Generalized radix design techniques for low-power, low voltage pipelined and cyclic analog-digital converters

    Creator:
    Sharma, Vivek
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes a novel technique for the design of pipelined and cyclic ADCs utilizing generalized radix gain stages. Several models have been proposed for the optimization of high performance pipelined ADCs by various researchers. This work builds upon them, using a simple but accurate model to estimate the optimal...

  • Data driven optimization in SAR ADC

    Creator:
    Leung, Jerry
    Abstract:
    Recent publications show that successive approximation register (SAR) analog to digital converters (ADC) are capable of achieving high efficiency over other ADC topologies. Furthermore, techniques have been adopted to process signals with low activity periods, such as biomedical and industrial sensors. Prior work used least- significant bit first quantization (LSBFQ)...
