CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converters

What it is about

You learn principles, architectures and design fundamentals of CMOS-based digital-to-analog (D/A) and analog-to-digital converters (A/D). By the end you can assess typical non-idealities and describe relationships between specifications, sizing and circuit structure.

What you will be able to do

• Understand concepts and architectures of CMOS D/A and A/D converters
• Recognize and evaluate typical non-idealities of converters
• Describe the relationship between specification, sizing and circuit structure
• Apply fundamental circuit techniques such as sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor
• Understand Sigma-Delta ADC principles

What the module consists of

• Lectures (weekly, 2 h)Conveying theoretical concepts and fundamentals
• Tutorials (weekly, 2 h)Deepening through practical and theoretical exercises

Teaching method

• LectureIntroduction and explanation of the theoretical concepts
• TutorialApplication and deepening of the material on example problems
