Abstracts:
Lecture 1: Design Techniques for High Performance Continuous-time Delta Sigma Modulators
The designer of a continuous-time delta sigma modulator is faced with a myriad choices – how should I choose the oversampling ratio, order of the noise transfer function, and number of quantizer levels in my design? What architecture should I employ for the loop filter? What DAC should I use? What kind of opamp(s) are apt? After all, every published work seems to demonstrate the efficacy of the authors’ design choices.
This talk, in a tutorial fashion, dissects various choices and design and hopes to infuse clarity into the design process. Practical design examples, and case studies that present an apple-to-apple comparison of some popular techniques will be discussed.
Lecture 2: Little Known Aspects of Continuous-time Delta Sigma Modulators
Continuous-time Delta Sigma modulation has now become mainstream technology, finding its way into a variety of signal processing chains. A CTDSM is bag of contrasts – it is comprised of a very linear circuitry (the loop filter) and an intentionally very nonlinear part (the quantizer); operating partly in continuous-time and partly in discrete time. To top it all, these elements are part of a negative feedback loop. While these aspects make for very interesting study, they also come together to result in something that is incredibly relevant in practice.
This talk will focus on several little known aspects of CTDSMs which a designer should be aware of, and will dispel popular myths involving these data converters. They will lead into new ways of analyzing, designing and simulating CTDSMs.
The workshop is open to the public. For more details, please refer to the poster.
