  • 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....

  • Novel structures for high-speed delta-sigma data converters

    Creator:
    Chae, Jeong Seok
    Abstract:
    As CMOS processes keep scaling down devices, the maximum operating frequencies of CMOS devices increase, and hence circuits can process very wide band signals. Moreover, the small physical dimensions of transistors allow the placing of many more blocks into a single chip, including highly accurate analog blocks and complicated digital...

  • Wide-bandwidth, high-resolution delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Zanbaghi, Ramin
    Abstract:
    There is a significant need in recent mobile communication and wireless broadband systems for high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that have wide bandwidth (BW>5-MHz) and high data rate (>100-Mbps). A delta-sigma ADC is recognized as a power-efficient ADC architecture when high resolution (>12-b) is required. This is due to several advantages...

  • Efficient use of time information in analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Hu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Time-domain data conversion has recently drawn increased research attention for its highly digital nature in favor of process technology scaling. Also, as the time information being carried by binary voltage, time-domain operation is much less sensitive to voltage noise compared to conventional voltage domain operation. However, for analog-to-digital converter (ADC)...

  • 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...

  • High efficiency wideband low-power delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Lee, Sang Hyeon
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters traditionally have been used for low speed, high resolution applications such as measurements, sensors, voice and audio systems. Through continued device scaling in CMOS technology and architectural and circuit level design innovations, they have even become popular for wideband, high dynamic range applications such as wired and...

  • Linearizing techniques for voltage controlled oscillator based analog to digital converters

    Creator:
    Rao, Sachin B.
    Abstract:
    Voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based ADC is an important class of time-domain ADC that has gained widespread acceptance due to their several desirable properties. VCO-based ADCs behave like an open-loop continuous time ΔΣ modulator and achieve excellent resolution by first order noise shaping the quantization error. However, the SNDR of...

  • 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 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...
