A critical limitation in taping out high-performance mixed-signal ICs is the characterization of complex analog/RF blocks such as phase locked loops (PLLs) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). As ...

Delta-sigma modulation has emerged as a pivotal technique in CMOS technology for high-resolution analogue‐to‐digital conversion. By utilising oversampling and noise-shaping strategies, this method ...

One of the most challenging tasks in Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) design is to adapt the cicuitry to ever new CMOS process technology. For digital circuits the number of gates per square mm app.

The PWM sigma-delta modulator is a special type of 1-bit sigma-delta modulator that produces a pulse width modulated (PWM) output signal with a fixed repetition frequency. A fixed repetition ... The ...

The analog world saw a host of significant but incremental developments in 2006. Take data converters. Back in January, the delta-sigma architecture was enjoying a renaissance as it was applied at ...

How does a camera see the image it is about to capture? If it's a digital camera, the microcontroller “sees” the image ultimately and works its magic by recording and manipulating the analog image ...

The author looks at the new design opportunities created by the introduction of continuous time delta sigma analog-to-digital converters, citing medical ultrasound as one of many applications that ...

Have you ever checked how many entries are in the web for “design buffer for an ADC”? It can be hard to find what you are looking for amongmore than 4 million references. Probably not a big surprise ...

The integration of photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors with advanced CMOS technology has ushered in a new era of wearable health monitoring devices that combine high sensitivity with significantly ...
