This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time-interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converters describes the research performed on low-power time-interleaved ADCs. A detailed theoretical analysis is made of the time-interleaved Track & Hold, since it must be capable of handling signals in the GHz range with little distortion, and minimal power consumption. Timing calibration is not attractive, therefore design techniques are presented which do not require timing calibration. The design of power efficient sub-ADCs is addressed with a theoretical analysis of a successive approximation converter and a pipeline converter. It turns out that the first can consume about 10 times less power than the latter, and this conclusion is supported by literature. Time-interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converters describes the design of a high performance time-interleaved ADC, with much attention for practical design aspects, aiming at both industry and research. Measurements show best-inclass performance with a sample-rate of 1.8 GS/s, 7.9 ENOBs and a power efficiency of 1 pJ/conversion-step.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successive approximation register analog-to-digital converters (SAR ADCs) have been widely used for medium-speed, medium-resolution applications due to their excellent power efficiency and digital compatibility. Recently, SAR ADCs are also penetrating into the applications which have been earlier dominated by delta-sigma ADCs and pipeline ADCs. However, the resolution of SAR ADCs is limited by component mismatch, and their speed is generally slow due to serial operation. In this work, several system innovations and design techniques are investigated for SAR ADCs. First, a semi-synchronous clocking is proposed to optimize the comparator resolving time and DAC settling time in the SAR conversion. Simulations show a 40% speed-up compared with conventional synchronous processing. A self-calibration technique to correct the capacitor mismatch error is also introduced. The proposed calibration algorithm is verified to be insensitive to the non-idealities in the calibration DACs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: With the advance of technology and rapid growth of digital systems, low power high speed analog-to- digital converters with great accuracy are in demand. To achieve high effective number of bits Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) calibration as a time consuming process is a potential bottleneck for designs. This dissertation presentsa fully digital background calibration algorithm for a 7- bit redundant flash ADC using split structure and look-up table based correction. Redundant comparators are used in the flash ADC design of this work in order to tolerate large offset voltages while minimizing signal input capacitance. The split ADC structure helps by eliminating the unknown input signal from the calibration path. The flash ADC has been designed in 180nm IBM CMOS technology and fabricated through MOSIS. This work was supported by Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA. While much research on ADC design has concentrated on increasing resolution and sample rate, there are many applications (e.g. biomedical devices and sensor networks) that do not require high performance but do require low power energy efficient ADCs. This dissertation also explores on design of a low quiescent current 100k Sps Successive Approximation (SAR) ADC that has been used as an error detection ADC for an automotive application in 350nm CD (CMOS-DMOS) technology. This work was supported by ON Semiconductor Corp, East Greenwich, RI.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 dissertation is focused on a low-power 12-bit 12.5-MS/s successive approximation (SAR) ADC with a couple of calibration schemes. The performances of the proposed SAR ADC are enhanced in two directions. To reduce the power dissipation, a power saving strategy has been proposed. Also, several foreground calibration methods for SAR ADCs have been proposed to reduce power dissipation and enhance conversion accuracy. The design was fabricated in 40nm CMOS technology. Measurement results after calibration showed a SFDR of 82.2 dB, and a THD improvement of 22.5 dB. Finally, two new schemes to realize teraohm on-chip resistance are presented. One of the schemes utilizes a switched-capacitor array, and the other utilizes a switch-capacitor ladder. Using these schemes, large resistances can be fabricated with standard CMOS process in an affordable chip area.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: As the use of digital systems continues to grow, there is an increasing need to convert analog information into the digital domain. Successive Approximation Register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters are used extensively in this regard due to their high resolution, small die area, and moderate conversion speeds. However, capacitor mismatch within the SAR converter is a limiting factor in its accuracy and resolution. Without some form of calibration, a SAR converter can only reasonably achieve an accuracy of 10 bits. The Split-ADC technique is a digital, deterministic, background self-calibration algorithm that can be applied to the SAR converter. This thesis describes the circuit design and physical implementation of a novel 16-bit 1MS/s SAR analog-to-digital converter for use with the Split-ADC calibration algorithm. The system was designed using the Jazz 0.18um CMOS process, successfully operates at 1MS/s, and consumes a die area of 1.2mm2. The calibration algorithm was applied, showing an improvement in the overall accuracy of the converter.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are driven by rapid development of mobile communication systems to have higher speed, higher resolution and lower power consumption. Among multiple ADC architectures, successive approximation (SAR) ADCs attract great attention in mixed-signal design community recently. It is due to the fact that they do not contain amplification components and the digital logics are scaling friendly. Therefore, it is easier to design a SAR ADC with smaller component size in advanced technology than other ADC architectures, which decreases the power consumption and increases the speed of the circuit. However, capacitor mismatch limits the minimum size of unit capacitors which could be used for a SAR ADC with more than 10 bit resolution. Large capacitor both limits conversion speed and increases switching power. In this design project, a novel switching scheme and a novel calibration method are adopted to overcome the capacitor mismatch constraint. The switching scheme uses monotonic switching in a SAR ADC to gain one extra bit, and switches a dummy capacitor between the common mode voltage level (Vcm) and the ground (gnd) to obtain another extra bit. To keep the resolution constant, the capacitor number is reduced by two. The calibration method extracts missing code width to estimate the actual value of capacitors. The missing code extraction is accomplished by detecting metastable state of a comparator, forcing the current bit value and using less significant bits to measure the actual capacitor value. Dither method is adopted to improve calibration accuracy. Behavior model simulation is provided to verify the effectiveness of the calibration method. A circuit design of a 12 bit ADC and the simulation for schematic design is presented in this report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows that digitally assisted analog to digital converters are not the only way to cope with poor analog performance caused by technology scaling. It describes various analog design techniques that enhance the area and power efficiency without employing any type of digital calibration circuitry. These techniques consist of self-biasing for PVT enhancement, inverter-based design for improved speed/power ratio, gain-of-two obtained by voltage sum instead of charge redistribution, and current-mode reference shifting instead of voltage reference shifting. Together, these techniques allow enhancing the area and power efficiency of the main building blocks of a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) based stage, namely, the flash quantizer, the amplifier, and the switched capacitor network of the MDAC. Complementing the theoretical analyses of the various techniques, a power efficient operational transconductance amplifier is implemented and experimentally characterized. Furthermore, a medium-low resolution reference-free high-speed time-interleaved pipeline ADC employing all mentioned design techniques and circuits is presented, implemented and experimentally characterized. This ADC is said to be reference-free because it precludes any reference voltage, therefore saving power and area, as reference circuits are not necessary. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of the techniques which enabled the implementation of area and power efficient circuits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benefits of technology scaling and the flexibility of digital circuits favor the digital signal processing in many applications, placing additional burden to the analog-to-digital con- verters (ADCs). This has created a need for energy-efficient ADCs in the GHz sampling frequency and moderate effective resolution range. A dominantly digital nature of successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs makes them a good candidate for an energy-efficient and scalable design, but its sequential operation limits its applicability in the GHz sampling range. Time-interleaving can be used to extend the efficiency of the SAR ADCs to the higher frequencies if the mismatches between the interleaved ADC channels can be handled in an efficient manner. New calibration techniques are proposed for time-interleaved SAR ADCs capable of cor- recting the gain, offset and timing mismatches, as well as the static nonlinearities of individ- ual ADC channels stemming from the capacitor mismatches. The techniques are based on introducing two additional calibration channels that are identical to all other time-interleaved channels and the use of the least mean square algorithm (LMS). The calibration of the chan- nel offset and gain mismatches, as well as the capacitor mismatches, is performed in the background using digital post-processing. The timing mismatches between channels are cor- rected using a mixed-signal feedback, where all calculations are performed in the digital do- main, but the actual timing correction is done in the analog domain by fine-tuning the edges of the sampling clocks. These calibration techniques enable a design of time-interleaved con- verters that use minimum-sized capacitors and operate in the thermal-noise-limited regime for maximum energy and area efficiency. The techniques are demonstrated on a time-interleaved converter that interleaves 24 channels designed in a 65nm CMOS technology. The ADC uses the smallest capacitor value of only 50aF, achieves 50.9dB SNDR at fs = 2.8GHz with the effective-resolution bandwidth higher than the Nyquist frequency, while consuming only 44.6 mW of power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents techniques for power optimization in algorithmic analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) enabling realization of ultra low power data converters. Implantable biomedical devices and autonomous wireless sensor networks are among the most rapidly growing applications that require low speed, medium resolution ADCs. Traditionally, successive approximation register ADC architectures have been used for low power data conversion. However, the successive approximation architecture suffers from limited resolution and design flexibility. This dissertation shows algorithmic ADCs are a better architectural choice for the above mentioned applications due to its compact layout and its inherent re-configurability. This dissertation shows the transfer of design complexity from the analog to the digital domain in algorithmic ADCs enables power-optimized designs. Use of digital calibration reduces the amplifier design specifications, thereby saving power, at a minimal cost of increase in digital power dissipation. The amplifier slew rate is controlled digitally, further reducing the amplifier power dissipation. Additionally, a CMOS inversion coefficient design methodology is shown to optimally realize the reduced amplifier specifications for a given power budget. The proposed techniques are experimentally verified using a 10-bit, 500 kS/s algorithmic ADCs fabricated in a 0.5-[mu]m bulk CMOS process. Measurement results indicate that the proposed design techniques show a power savings of more than 70% compared to standard algorithmic ADC design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pipeline analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are typically chosen for medium-to-high-resolution and high-bandwidth applications. Nevertheless, each generation of technology scaling, strongly driven by the demand for even more powerful digital computation capabilities, continuously entails a great challenge on the precision of the interstage gain in pipeline ADCs. The inaccurate interstage gain leads to the quantization leakage error in pipeline ADCs, which degrades the signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) of pipeline ADCs. This dissertation demonstrates three techniques to address the inaccurate interstage gain in pipeline ADCs. To start with, an interstage gain error shaping (GES) technique is proposed. It can substantially suppress the in-band quantization leakage error in pipeline ADCs. It works for both closed-loop and open-loop amplification. It does not require extra clock phases, long convergence time, or an interruption of the digitization, incur large power or area overhead, or pose a constraint on the input signal. A two-stage pipeline successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC equipped with the proposed second-order GES technique in 40-nm low-power (LP) CMOS technology achieves a 75.8-dB SNDR over 12.5-MHz bandwidth while operating at 100 MS/s and consuming 1.54 mW. It achieves a 174.9-dB Schreier figure of merit (FoM). The GES-related hardware only occupies less than 2% of the total active area. Next, an enhanced interstage GES technique that adopts a digital error feedback (DEF) method to address the truncation error in the prior implementation is proposed, which can extend the interstage gain error tolerance by five times. The proposed DEF technique does not introduce additional errors as it operates purely in the digital domain. In addition, a first-order passive quantization noise shaping (NS) technique that reduces the input-pair ratio of the two-input-pair comparator by 2.7 times is proposed. The proposed passive NS technique can alleviate the noise penalty caused by using a multiple-input-pair comparator. A two-stage pipeline SAR ADC equipped with the proposed techniques in 40-nm LP CMOS technology achieves a 77.1-dB SNDR over 6.25-MHz bandwidth while operating at 100 MS/s and consuming 1.38 mW. It achieves a 173.7-dB Schreier FoM. Finally, the use of foreground interstage gain calibration is demonstrated to address the inaccurate interstage gain in pipeline ADCs. It is implemented in a 13-bit 40-MS/s two-stage pipeline SAR ADC. The prototype ADC is designed for the phase-II readout electronics of the ATLAS liquid argon (LAr) calorimeter. To ensure its robustness under the harsh radioactive environment, several radiation-hardened techniques are implemented. To increase its yield, foreground digital-to-analog converter (DAC) mismatch calibration is also implemented. It is implemented in 65-nm LP CMOS technology. With the foreground calibration, it achieves an effective number of bits (ENOB) better than 11.2 bits over the bandwidth of interest while consuming 17.6 mW. Besides, on-chip high-speed reference buffers are deployed to avoid the need for large decoupling capacitors and provide stable reference voltages by tracking bandgap voltage references.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Successive Approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converters are used extensively in biomedical applications such as CAT scan due to the high resolution they offer. Capacitor mismatch in the SAR converter is a limiting factor for its accuracy and resolution. Without some form of calibration, a SAR converter can only achieve 10 bit accuracy. In industry, the CAL-DAC approach is a popular approach for calibrating the SAR ADC, but this approach requires significant test time. This thesis applies the "Split-ADC" architecture with a deterministic, digital, and background self-calibration algorithm to the SAR converter to minimize test time. In this approach, a single ADC is split into two independent halves. The two split ADCs convert the same input sample and produce two output codes. The ADC output is the average of these two output codes. The difference between these two codes is used as a calibration signal to estimate the errors of the calibration parameters in a modified Jacobi method. The estimates are used to update calibration parameters are updated in a negative feedback LMS procedure. The ADC is fully calibrated when the difference signal goes to zero on average. This thesis focuses on the specific implementation of the "Split-ADC" self-calibrating algorithm on a 16 bit, 1 MS/s differential SAR ADC. The ADC can be calibrated with 105 conversions. This represents an improvement of 3 orders of magnitude over existing statistically-based calibration algorithms. Simulation results show that the linearity of the calibrated ADC improves to within "1 LSB.
Book Synopsis Power Efficient Analog-to-digital Converters Using Both Voltage and Time Domain Information by : Taehwan Oh
Download or read book Power Efficient Analog-to-digital Converters Using Both Voltage and Time Domain Information written by Taehwan Oh and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As advanced wired and wireless communication systems attempt to achieve higher performance, the demand for high resolution and wide signal bandwidth in their associated ADCs is strongly increased. Recently, time-domain quantization has drawn attention from its scalability in deep submicron CMOS processes. Furthermore, there are several interesting aspects of time-domain quantizer by processing the signal in time rather than only in voltage domain especially for power efficiency. This research focuses on developing a new architecture for power efficient, high resolution ADCs using both voltage and time domain information. As a first approach, a new [delta sigma] ADC based on a noise-shaped two-step integrating quantizer which quantizes the signal in voltage and time domains is presented. Attaining an extra order of noise-shaping from the integrating quantizer, the proposed [delta sigma] ADC manifests a second-order noise-shaping with a first-order loop filter. Furthermore, this quantizer provides an 8b uantization in itself, drastically reducing the oversampling requirement. The proposed ADC also incorporates a new feedback DAC topology that alleviates the feedback DAC complexity of a two-step 8b quantizer. The measured results of the prototype ADC implemented in a 0.13[micro]m CMOS demonstrate peak SNDR of 70.7dB (11.5b ENOB) at 8.1mW power, with an 8x OSR at 80MHz sampling frequency. To further improve ADC performance, a Nyquist ADC based on a time-based pipelined TDC is also proposed as a second approach. In this work, a simple V-T conversion scheme with a cheap low gain amplifier in its first stage and a hybrid time-domain quantization stage based on simple charge pump and capacitive DAC in its backend stages, are also proposed to improve ADC linearity and power efficiency. Using voltage and time domain information, the proposed ADC architecture is beneficial for both resolution and power efficiency, with MSBs resolved in voltage domain and LSBs in time domain. The measured results of the prototype ADC implemented in a 0.13[micro]m CMOS demonstrate peak SNDR of 69.3dB (11.2b ENOB) at 6.38mW power and 70MHz sampling frequency. The FOM is 38.2fJ/conversion-step.
