  • Characterization of a digital phase locked loop and a stochastic time to digital converter

    Creator:
    Geissenhainer, Erik D.
    Abstract:
    A digital phase locked loop (DPLL) and a statistical time-to-digital converter (STDC) were previously fabricated in a 0.35µm, 3.3V SOI CMOS process. This work summarizes these designs and characterizes the measured performance. Simulations supplement the measurements where applicable. The DPLL was found to reach a locked state under a limited...

  • Design of a low jitter digital PLL with low input frequency

    Creator:
    Jung, Seokmin
    Abstract:
    Complex digital circuits such as microprocessors typically require support circuitry that has traditionally been realized using analog or mixed-signal macros. PLL circuits are used in many integrated applications such as frequency synthesizers and inter-chip communication interfaces. As process technologies advance and grow in complexity, the challenge of maintaining required analog...

  • Model and design of cmos phase-locked loop

    Creator:
    Shum, Daniel K.
    Abstract:
    This thesis will examine the model and design technique of a self-contained analog CMOS Phase-Locked Loop. This system has an adaptable filter and demodulator for an oscillating frequency of up to 1000 KHz and it is programmable by means of an external resistor and capacitor. The first topic to be...

  • Design techniques for clocking high performance signaling systems

    Creator:
    Hanumolu, Pavan Kumar
    Abstract:
    Scaling of CMOS technology has progressed relentlessly for the past several decades. In order for this unprecedented scaling to benefit the performance of large digital systems, the communication bandwidth between integrated circuits (ICs) must scale accordingly. However, interconnect technology does not scale as aggressively, making communication between chips the major...

  • Small sample, low-temperature calorimetry

    Creator:
    Wolochuk, Lee
    Abstract:
    A calorimeter capable of measuring the heat capacity of 1 mg size samples from 4.2 to greater than 100 K has been designed, constructed, and tested. The sample is bonded to the end of a 0.002 inch diameter, 0.5 cm long chromel-constantan thermocouple (type E) and heated optically with a...

  • Design and manufacturing study of hydroelectric turbines using recycled and natural fiber composites

    Creator:
    Whitehead, Marc
    Abstract:
    The objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility fiber-reinforced turbine components through a design and manufacturing study. The motivation for using composites is to reduce weight and simplify manufacturing especially at high production volumes. In addition, natural fiber composites are implemented for applicable components to reduce environmental impact....
