  • Resolution enhancement of analog-to-digital converters through computationally simple digital filtering

    Creator:
    Zahl, Eric L.
    Abstract:
    The resolution of analog-to-digital converters can be distinguished as absolute resolution, or average resolution. This study reviews average resolution enhancement techniques and proposes a method which is particularly applicable as a low-cost modification to a high-speed waveform acquisition system. This method uses oversampling combined with computationally simple digital filtering to...

  • OP-AMP free SC biquad LPF and delta-sigma ADC

    Creator:
    Yoo, Kiseok
    Abstract:
    The objective of this work is to explore the feasibility of replacing conventional op-amps with inverters in switched-capacitor (SC) circuits. In order to verify the idea, a low-pass filter (LPF) and a second-order delta-sigma (∆Σ) analog-todigital converter (ADC) are designed in the 0.5-m CMOS technology. The low-pass filter structure is...

  • Low power high resolution data converter in digital CMOS technology

    Creator:
    Zheng, Zhiliang
    Abstract:
    The advance of digital IC technology has been very fast, as shown by rapid development of DSP, digital communication and digital VLSI. Within electronic signal processing, analog-to-digital conversion is a key function, which converts the analog signal into digital form for further processing. Recently, low-voltage and low-power have become also...

  • 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...

  • Error canceling low voltage SAR-ADC

    Creator:
    Wen, Jianping
    Abstract:
    The design of a switched capacitor successive approximation A/D converter is discussed in this thesis. This design adopts a novel capacitance mismatch error cancellation algorithm proposed in references [25, 27]. Detailed charge domain analysis is given in this thesis, which results in an improvement of the proposed algorithm by tracing...

  • 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...

  • Design techniques for VCO based digital sensor readout circuits

    Creator:
    Prabha, Praveen
    Abstract:
    Sensors find a variety of applications in portable electronics, automotive and biomedical solutions. The demand for low power and high dynamic range makes the design of digital sensor readout circuits quite challenging. Traditionally, these circuits are realized using amplifiers with passive feedback or precision analog comparators which are power hungry...

  • Design of high-performance pipeline analog-to-digital converters in low-voltage processes

    Creator:
    Myers, Charles Grant
    Abstract:
    Pipeline analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have long been used in high-speed systems for power-efficient data conversion. Broadband communication and video processing systems are placing high demands on converter accuracy and speed (above 14 bits and in the multiple-MHz range). The increasing converter requirements coupled with lower supply voltages in modern processes...

  • 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....

  • Analysis and design of bandpass delta-sigma A/D converters

    Creator:
    Zhai, Dalun
    Abstract:
    A new approach to oversampled delta-sigma A/D converters ( AZ modulators ) is introduced, where a differential pseudo-Npath filter stage is used as a basic cell. In this band-pass application, the z to -zN transformation is employed to realize a RAM-type pseudo-2-path lossless integrator. The bandpass second-order and 4th-order delta-sigma...
