    Course Objectives This course covers the data converter circuits in modern mixed-signal VLSI systems. We will investigate switched-capacitor amplifiers/integrators, sample-and-hold circuits, Nyquist-rate converters, and oversampled converters. As the major advancement in this field was developed using CMOS technology in the past decade, the course will focus on CMOS building blocks and circuit techniques that implement these converters. Extensive computer simulations are required in the project.
    Learning Outcomes

    The students who succeeded in this course;

    • learn about data converter circuits in modern mixed-signal VLSI systems,
    • learn limits of converters,
    • have knowledge of switched-capacitor amplifiers/integrators,
    • have knowledge of sample-and-hold circuits, Nyquist-rate converters, and oversampled converters.
    Course Description Introduction to data converters, sampling in analog/digital and digital/analog converters, issues in data conversions, algorithmic converters, switched capacitor circuits, non-linearity in converters, switched-capacitor amplifiers/integrators, sample-and-hold circuits, Nyquist-rate converters, and oversampled converters. Limitations of converters, linear and non-linear noise.
