CMOS Digital-to-Analog and Analog-to-Digital Converter Design
EC ENGR X 457.58
The course provides the fundamentals of data conversion systems, and practical application of design and analysis of basic building blocks of data converters.
Develop an understanding of the fundamentals of data conversion systems
Analyze and design the basic building blocks of data converters including CMOS sampling circuits, operational amplifiers, comparators, and sample-and-hold architectures
Describe the basic principles of architectures of digital-to-analog converters, focusing on advantages, disadvantages, and performance tradeoffs of various topologies
Identify basic types of analog-to-digital converters focusing on design issues, sources of errors, and performance improvement techniques including offset cancellation, digital correction, and calibration
Acquire practical experience from a hands-on project to design, and characterize a simulated CMOS data converter circuit
About this course:
The course begins with an overview of data conversion systems followed by the analysis and design of basic building blocks of data converters: CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sampling circuits, operational amplifiers, comparators and sample-and-hold architectures. With these fundamental concepts clarified, the course then continues with the basic principles of architectures of digital-to-analog converters, focusing on advantages, disadvantages and performance tradeoffs of various topologies. Following that, instruction covers basic types of analog-to-digital converters, focusing on design issues, sources of errors and performance improvement techniques. These include offset cancellation, digital correction and calibration techniques. The course concludes with a design project where participants apply their skills to design and characterize a simulated CMOS data converter circuit.
