In this paper, an A/D converter is implemented to obtain 8bit resolution at a conversion rate of 10Msample/s. This architecture is proposed using the 2-step architecture for high speed conversion rate. It is consisted of sample/hold circuit, low power comparator, voltage reference circuit and DAC of binary weighted capacitor array. Proposed A/D converter is designed using 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. The SNR is 45.3dB at a sampling rate of 10MHz with 1.95MHz sine input signal. When an 8bit 10Msample/s A/D converter is simulated, the Differential Nonlinearity / Integral Nonlinearity (DNL/ INL) error are ${\pm}$1 / ${\pm}$2 LSB, respectively. The power consumption is 13㎽ at single +2.5V supply voltage.

In this study, two types of the direct digital frequency synthesizers (DDFS) designed and implemented using 1.0.mu.m CMOS gatearray(SOG) technolgoies are interoduced. To analize the effect of the number of phase bits(L), address data bits(A), and DAC bits (D) on the output spectrums of the DDFSs, the NCO-based BCD-DDFS composed of L=24, A=14, and D=8, and the improved binary-DDFS composed of L=24, A=8, and D=10 have been studied. The chips have been designed with and without a noise shapper to reduce spurious noises due to phase truncation and reduced sine ROM in output spectrum.

SoC에서 칩 내부의 온도를 측정하기 위한 proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) 회로와 sensing 된 아날로그 신호를 디지털로 변환하기 위해 4-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC)로 구성된 temperature sensor를 제안한다. CMOS 공정에서 vertical PNP 구조를 이용하여 PTAT 회로가 설계되었다. 온도변화에 둔감한 ADC를 구현하기 위해 아날로그 회로를 최소로 사용하는 successive approximation (SA) ADC가 이용되었다. 4-bit SA ADC는 capacitor DAC와 time-domain 비교기를 이용함으로 전력소모를 최소화하였다. 제안된 temperature sensor는 2.5V $0.25{\mu}m$ 1-poly 9-metal CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계되었고, $50{\sim}150^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서 동작한다. Temperature sensor의 면적과 전력 소모는 각각 $130{\times}390\;um^2$과 868 uW이다.

In this paper, a voltage-controlled frequency tunable current-mode integrator and a 3rd-order current-mode Chebyshev filter in 1.8V-$0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS is realized for software radio applications in system-on-chips. This filter is used for reconstruction purposes between a current-steering DAC and a current-mode mixer. Power consumption of the designed filter can be reduced by using a current-mode small size integrator. And also, cutoff frequency of this filter is variable between 1.2MHz and 10.1MHz, the power consumption is 2.85mW. And the voltage bias compensated circuit is used to control the voltage variation.in the designed filter.

본 논문은 1.2Vpp differential 입력 범위를 가지는 50-MS/s 10-hit pipelined ADC를 소개한다. 설계된 pipelined ADC는 8단의 1.5bit/stage, 1단의 2bit/stage와 digital correction 블록, bias circuit 및 reference driver, 그리고 clock generator로 구성된다. 1.5bit/stage는 sub-ADC, DAC, gain stage로 구성된다. 특히, 설계된 pipelined ADC에서는 hardware와 power consumption을 줄이기 위해 SHA를 제거하였으며, 전체 ADC의 dynamic performance를 향상시키기 위해 linearity가 개선된 bootstrapped switch를 사용하였다. Sub-ADC를 위한 reference 전압은 외부에서 인가하지 않고 on-chip reference driver에서 발생시킨다. 제안된 pipelined ADC는 1.8V supply, $0.18{\mu}m$ 1-poly 5-metal CMOS 공정에서 설계되었으며, power decoupling capacitor를 포함하여 $0.95mm^2$의 칩 면적을 가진다. 또한, 60mW의 전력소모를 가진다. 또한, Nyquist sampling rate에서 9.3-bit의 ENOB를 나타내었다.

This paper presents multibit Sigma-Delta ADC using noise-shaped dynamic element matching(DEM). 5-bit flash ADC for multibit quantization in Sigma Delta modulator offers the following advantages such as lower quantization noise, more accurate white-noise level and more stability over single quantization. For the feedback paths consisting of DAC, the DAC element should have a high matching requirement in order to maintain the linearity performance which can be obtained by the modulator with a multibit quantizer. The DEM algorithm is implemented in such a way as to minimize additional delay within the feedback loop of the modulator Using this algorithm, distortion spectra from DAC linearity errors are shaped. Sigma Delta ADC achieves 82dB signal to noise ratio over 615H7z bandwidth, and 62mW power dissipation at a sampling frequency of 19.6MHz. This Sigma Delta ADC is designed to use 0.25um CMOS technology with 2.5V supply voltage and verified by HSPICE simulation.

This paper describes a low-power, SNDR (signal-to-noise and distortion ration) enhanced SAR (successive approximation register) type 12b ADC (analog-to-digital converter) with noise shaping technique. For low power consumption and small chip size of the DAC (digital-to-analog converter), the top plate sampling technique and the dummy capacitor switching technique are used to implement 12b operation with a 10b capacitor array in DAC. Noise shaping technique is applied to improve the SNDR by reducing the errors from the mismatching of DAC capacitor arrays, the errors caused by attenuation capacitor and the errors from the comparator noise. The proposed SAR ADC is designed with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The simulation results show that the SNDR of the SAR ADC without the noise shaping technique is 71 dB and that of the SAR ADC with the noise shaping technique is 84 dB. We can achieve the 13 dB improvement in SNDR with this noise shaping technique. The power consumption is $73.8{\mu}W$ and the FoM (figure-of-merit) is 5.2fJ/conversion-step.

A hybrid ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator for audio applications is presented in this paper. The pulse generator for digital-to-analog converter alleviates the requirement of the external clock jitter and calibrates the coefficient variation due to a process shift and temperature changes. The input resistor network in the first integrator offers a gain control function in a dB-linear fashion. Also, careful chopper stabilization implementation using return-to-zero scheme in the first continuous-time integrator minimizes both the influence of flicker noise and inflow noise due to chopping. The chip is implemented in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology (I/O devices) and occupies an active area of 0.37 $mm^2$. The ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator achieves a dynamic range (A-weighted) of 97.8 dB and a peak signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio of 90.0 dB over an audio bandwidth of 20 kHz with a 4.4 mW power consumption from 3.3 V. Also, the gain of the modulator is controlled from -9.5 dB to 8.5 dB, and the performance of the modulator is maintained up to 5 nsRMS external clock jitter.

본 연구팀이 Hynix 0.35um CMOS 4M 2P 공정을 사용하여 제작한 민수용 DDFS (DAC를 포함한 single chip)는 DC부터 100MHz 까지 사용할 수 있으며(BW=100MHz) frequency 변환속도 약 30nS, 주파수해상도 0.0745Hz, 그리고 소비 전력은 120MHz 클럭에서 약 200mW이다. 본고에서는 언급하지 않았지만, 본 연구팀이 별도의 설계로 진행된 군수용 DDFS의 경우, 출력주파수는 DC부터 320MHz 까지 가능하고 소비 전력은 800MHz 클럭에서 약 400mW이다. 이처럼 DDFS는 특성 자체의 우수성 뿐 아니라, 각종 멀티미디어 기기 및 통신시스템의 급격한 디지털화 추세로 인해 주파수합성기도 디지털화 함으로써 VLSI화가 용이하고, 이에 따라 S/W에 의한 다기능화 (programmability), 응용성의 극대화, 및 저가격화를 추구할 수 있다는 점에서 주목해야 할 분야이다. 특히 반도체기술의 발전으로 지금까지 DDFS 구현의 가장 큰 장애로 대두되던 DAC의 고속화가 부분적으로 가능해지면서 (TTL-to-ECL interface 부가회로가 별도로 필요없이 직접적인 연결), DDFS의 시장 전망을 더욱 밝게 하고 있다.

A transceiver for ADSL systems contains an interpolated combfilter, halfband filters, oversampling sigma delta modulator, a current steering DAC and an analog filler. The circuit complexity of the architecture makes it necessary to use behavioral models to determine the system features. For this reason, we need a specific behavioral simulation environment using the Matlab program. The Matlab is crucial for these circuits to be rapidly incorporated in larger systems, in particular in the context of mixed-signal-test schemes. Design trade-off among the blocks has also been discussed. The design methodology is based on behavioral design and CMOS process.
