This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents innovative solutions for the implementation of Sigma-Delta Modulation (SDM) based Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC), required for the next generation of wireless hand-held terminals. These devices will be based on the so-called multi-standard transceiver chipsets, integrated in nanometer CMOS technologies. One of the most challenging and critical parts in such transceivers is the analog-digital interface, because of the assorted signal bandwidths and dynamic ranges that can be required to handle the A/D conversion for several operation modes. This book describes new adaptive and reconfigurable SDM ADC topologies, circuit strategies and synthesis methods, specially suited for multi-standard wireless telecom systems and future Software-defined-radios (SDRs) integrated in nanoscale CMOS. It is a practical book, going from basic concepts to the frontiers of SDM architectures and circuit implementations, which are explained in a didactical and systematic way. It gives a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art performance, challenges and practical solutions, providing the necessary insight to implement successful design, through an efficient design and synthesis methodology. Readers will learn a number of practical skills – from system-level design to experimental measurements and testing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly revised and expanded to help readers systematically increase their knowledge and insight about Sigma-Delta Modulators Sigma-Delta Modulators (SDMs) have become one of the best choices for the implementation of analog/digital interfaces of electronic systems integrated in CMOS technologies. Compared to other kinds of Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), Σ∆Ms cover one of the widest conversion regions of the resolution-versus-bandwidth plane, being the most efficient solution to digitize signals in an increasingly number of applications, which span from high-resolution low-bandwidth digital audio, sensor interfaces, and instrumentation, to ultra-low power biomedical systems and medium-resolution broadband wireless communications. Following the spirit of its first edition, Sigma-Delta Converters: Practical Design Guide, 2nd Edition takes a comprehensive look at SDMs, their diverse types of architectures, circuit techniques, analysis synthesis methods, and CAD tools, as well as their practical design considerations. It compiles and updates the current research reported on the topic, and explains the multiple trade-offs involved in the whole design flow of Sigma-Delta Modulators—from specifications to chip implementation and characterization. The book follows a top-down approach in order to provide readers with the necessary understanding about recent advances, trends, and challenges in state-of-the-art Σ∆Ms. It makes more emphasis on two key points, which were not treated so deeply in the first edition: It includes a more detailed explanation of Σ∆Ms implemented using Continuous-Time (CT) circuits, going from system-level synthesis to practical circuit limitations. It provides more practical case studies and applications, as well as a deeper description of the synthesis methodologies and CAD tools employed in the design of Σ∆ converters. Sigma-Delta Converters: Practical Design Guide, 2nd Edition serves as an excellent textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering as well as design engineers working on SD data-converters, who are looking for a uniform and self-contained reference in this hot topic. With this goal in mind, and based on the feedback received from readers, the contents have been revised and structured to make this new edition a unique monograph written in a didactical, pedagogical, and intuitive style.

Download or read book Low power High speed High resolution Delta sigma Modulators for Digital TV Receivers in Nanometer CMOS written by Mostafa Haroun and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The use of high-speed high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) allows part of the signal processing to be done in the digital domain allowing for higher system integration and cheaper fabrication. Becoming more in use, hand-held devices have low-power requirements to allow for longer battery life. Also, designing ADCs in nanometer digital CMOS technologies make them more integrable with digital processing blocks and cheaper. This thesis aims at designing a high-speed (16MS/s conversion rate) high-resolution (12bits) Delta-Sigma modulator with low-power consumption in nanometer CMOS. Delta-Sigma modulators can achieve high resolution in low and medium speed applications. For higher speed applications, the oversampling ratio (OSR) will have to be kept low to avoid inefficient design. However, lowering the OSR requires special care in the design starting from the architecture until the full circuit implementation. In nanometer CMOS technologies, analog properties, such as intrinsic gain, degrade which might result in a higher power consumption. Moreover, the low nominal supply voltages associated with such technologies adds more challenges to the design of a low distortion power-efficient Delta-Sigma modulator. Targeting a specic resolution, lowering the voltage supply usually results in a higher power consumption. This thesis suggests possible solutions to achieve low power consumption while targeting high-speed applications in nanometer low-voltage-supply environment.This thesis presents a low-power Discrete-Time (DT) Delta-Sigma modulator making use of a single-loop multibit DT digital input-feedforward Delta-Sigma architecture. The main feature of this architecture is the reduced signal swings at the output of the integrators which allows the use of a low voltage supply. The low-power Switched-Capacitor (SC) implementation is ensured by using a novel opamp switching technique, optimizing simultaneous opamp's settling in cascaded nondelaying SC integrators, and using non-overlapping clock phases with unequal duty-cycles. The novel opamp switching technique is based on a current-mirror opamp with switchable transconductances. The current-mirror opamp works with full current during the charge-transfer phase while the output current is partially switched off during the sampling phase. Power saving can be achieved while ensuring that the opamp output is available during both phases. The simultaneous settling of series opamps in a two cascaded nondelaying SC integrators scheme is looked at as a two-pole system where power optimization is necessary to ensure minimum power consumption while meeting the settling requirements. The use of clock phases with unequal duty-cycles gives the designer an extra degree of freedom to further power optimize the design. The experimental Delta-Sigma ADC is a 4th-order 5.5bits single-loop Delta-Sigma modulator with an OSR of 8. The design starts with the structural-level aspects in which system-level decisions are made and simulations are carried-out with behavioral models to find the suitable circuit parameters. Circuit-level design in then considered to design each block and simulate the full-system. Fabricated in 1V 65nm CMOS, the Delta-Sigma modulator prototype occupies an active area of 1.2mm2. Although the targeted resolution is about 12bits, the experimental results shows a dynamic range (DR) of 66dB (11bits) over an 8MHz bandwidth while consuming 26mW and a peak SNR/SNDR of 64/58.5dB. The proposed opamp switching technique brings the total power consumption from 29mW to 26mW without affecting the performance (SNDR stays at 58.5dB). The deviation in experimental performance, from simulations, in thought to be due to higher parasitic capacitance requiring higher bias currents which results in drop of opamp dc gain. Compared to state of the art high-speed high-resolution Delta-Sigma modulators operated from 1V supply and fabricated in CMOS, it achieves a reasonable Figure-of-Merit." --

Download or read book Top Down Design of High Performance Sigma Delta Modulators written by Fernando Medeiro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest for :I:~ modulation-based NO converters has significantly increased in the last years. The reason for that is twofold. On the one hand, unlike other converters that need accurate building blocks to obtain high res olution, :I:~ converters show low sensitivity to the imperfections of their building blocks. This is achieved through extensive use of digital signal pro cessing - a desirable feature regarding the implementation of NO interfaces in mainstream CMOS technologies which are better suited for implementing fast, dense, digital circuits than accurate analog circuits. On the other hand, the number of applications with industrial interest has also grown. In fact, starting from the earliest in the audio band, today we can find :I:~ converters in a large variety of NO interfaces, ranging from instrumentation to commu nications. These advances have been supported by a number of research works that have lead to a considerably large amount of published papers and books cov ering different sub-topics: from purely theoretical aspects to architecture and circuit optimization. However, so much material is often difficultly digested by those unexperienced designers who have been committed to developing a :I:~ converter, mainly because there is a lack of methodology. In our view, a clear methodology is necessary in :I:~ modulator design because all related tasks are rather hard.
