Fundamentals of Integrated Data Converters

Catalog description

This course focuses on the fundamentals of Nyquist-rate and oversampled (Delta-Sigma) integrated data converters, including system and circuit architectures, performance metrics and characterization, practical implementations, and design considerations in advanced semiconductor processes. Nyquist-rate ADC architectures covered include flash, two-step, pipelined, SAR, and integrating architectures. Prereq: 4021, or Grad standing in Engr or Physics.
