System oriented delta sigma analog-to-digital modulator design for ultra high precisoin data acquisition applications

Yang, Yuqing, Ph. D. 05 October 2012 (has links)
As high precision data acquisition systems continue to improve their performance and power efficiency to migrate into portable devices, increasing demands are placed on the performance and power efficiency of the analog-to-digital conversion modulator. On the other hand, analog-to-digital modulator performance is largely limited by several major noise sources including thermal noise, flicker noise, quantization noise leakage and internal analog and digital coupling noise. Large power consumption and die area are normally required to suppress the above noise energies, which are the major challenges to achieve power efficiency and cost targets for modern day high precision converter design. The main goal of this work is to study various approaches and then propose and validate the most suitable topology to achieve the desired performance and power efficiency specifications, up to 100 kHz bandwidth with 16-21 bits of resolution. This work will first study various analog-to-digital conversion architectures ranging from Nyquist converters such as flash, pipeline, to the delta sigma architecture. Advantages and limitations of each approach will be compared to develop the criteria for the optimal modulator architecture. Second, this work will study analog sub-circuit blocks such as opamp, comparator and reference voltage generator, to compare the advantages and limitations of various design approaches to develop the criteria for the optimal analog sub circuit design. Third, this work will study noise contributions from various sources such as thermal noise, flicker noise and coupling noise, to explore alternative power and die area efficient approaches to suppress the noise. Finally, a new topology will be proposed to meet all above criteria and adopt the new noise suppression concepts, and will be demonstrated to be the optimal approach. The main difference between this work from previous ones is that current work places emphasis on the integration of the modulator architecture design and analog sub-circuit block research efforts. A high performance stereo analog-to-digital modulator is designed based on the new approach and manufactured in silicon. The chip is measured in the lab and the measurement results reported in the dissertation. / text

Design techniques for low voltage wideband delta-sigma modulator. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection / Digital dissertation consortium

January 2010 (has links)
Finally, another new 0.5V fully differential wideband amplifier, which can be used in the wideband modulator, has been proposed. The gate-input two-stage amplifier employs a DC common-mode feedback circuit that uses a Miller-amplified capacitor for its frequency compensation. With the proposed technique, the power consumption of the low-voltage amplifier is drastically reduced. / Furthermore, a new dynamic CM level shifting technique for low-voltage CT delta-sigma modulators that employ a return-to-open feedback DAC is reported in the thesis. The technique maintains a stable CM level at the amplifier's inputs for this type of modulators. Simulation results show that it improves the modulator's SNDR by 11%. / In this thesis, we present research works on developing a low-voltage delta-sigma modulator with a wide signal bandwidth. Specifically, a 0.5V complex low-pass continuous-time (CT) third-order delta-sigma modulator that has a single-sided signal bandwidth of 1MHz, targeting for application in Bluetooth receivers, is presented without using any internal voltage boosting techniques which are potentially harmful to the reliability of the device. The wide bandwidth of the modulator at this low supply voltage is enabled by a special common-mode (CM) level arrangement in the system level and by new low-voltage amplifies. Realized in a 0.13mum CMOS process the proposed modulator achieves a 61.9-dB peak signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio at the nominal supply of 0.5V with 3.4mW consumption, and occupies an active area of 0.9mm2. The modulator achieves the best figure-of-merit among its class. / The development of low-voltage design techniques for analog circuits has recently received a lot of attention due to the continuous shrinking of the supply voltage in modern CMOS technologies, which is projected to reduce to 0.5V for low power applications within ten years in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor. This thesis focuses on developing circuit techniques for low-voltage delta-sigma modulator, a functional block that is widely used in mixed-signal integrated circuits. Several delta-sigma modulators operating at supply voltages below 0.9V have been reported in the open literature. However, none of them supports a signal bandwidth wider than 100kHz with a reasonable performance. / He, Xiaoyong. / Adviser: Kong Pang Pun. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 72-01, Section: B, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 104-111). / Electronic reproduction.

A study of basic building blocks of analog-to-digital delta-sigma modulators

Guo, Yuhua 09 January 2004 (has links)
In this thesis, a novel Direct-Charge-Transfer (DCT) integrator structure is proposed, which can settle much faster than regular switch-capacitor integrators. A new Spread-Spectrum Dynamic Element Matching (SS-DEM) algorithm is also introduced, which can effectively spread or shape the nonlinearity error of multi-bit DAC in the feedback path, thus improve the SNDR and THD performance of overall delta-sigma modulators. A three-bit quantizer design example is presented, which is embedded in a MASH2-0 structure delta-sigma modulator prototype and has been fabricated in AMI CMOS 1.5μm technology. Testing results indicate this quantizer works well. / Graduation date: 2004
