Subject Overview: |
AIMS Upon completion of this class, students will be able to design an analog-digital interface from system-level specifications such as input signal and disturbance characteristics. The students will learn how to design, analyze and characterize all components of an acquisition chain, including filters and A/D or D/A converters. Indicative Content: Principles of analog-to-digital interfaces: concepts of aggressors,noise, signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range, resolution and accuracy. Methodology for interface design from system specifications. Filter architectures and implementations: Biquad and Ladder filters, switched capacitor and continuous-time filter; OTA-RC and opamp-RC implementation. D/A converter architectures and characterization:differential and integral non-linearity and spectral metrics; binary, thermometer and segmented architectures. A/D converter architectures: Flash, pipelined, successive approximation, oversampling converter. Analysis of error sources in A/D converter architectures and impact on design. |
