  • Low-power successive approximation analog to digital converter with digital calibration

    Creator:
    Li, Wei
    Abstract:
    IC designers are continuously facing the challenges from reduced CMOS feature sizes and supply voltages. ADCs that deliver satisfactory resolutions/speeds while utilizing the state-of-the-art technologies to save power are in high demand. The analog circuits are more and more assisted by various digital calibration techniques to get boosted performances. This...

  • Steady-state analysis techniques for coupled device and circuit simulation

    Creator:
    Hu, Yutao
    Abstract:
    The focus of this work is on the steady-state analysis of RE circuits using a coupled device and circuit simulator. Efficient coupling algorithms for both the time-domain shooting method and the frequency-domain harmonic balance method have been developed. A modified Newton shooting method considerably improves the efficiency and reliability of...
