This paper presents a high-level synthesis tool for/spl Sigma//spl Delta/modulators (/spl
Sigma//spl Delta/Ms) that combines an accurate SIMULINK-based time-domain behavioral …

A new driving mode of electrostatic actuators has been examined. It is based on charge
drive rather than on voltage drive. Charge drive is accomplished by a pulsed current source …

This paper presents a systematic analysis of the major switched-current (SI) errors and their
influence on the performance degradation of ΣΔ Modulators (ΣΔMs). The study is presented …

The general performance of class AB switched currents (SI) is analyzed using the general
MOS equations valid for all regions of operation. Using a figure-of-merit combining speed …

Low supply voltages in modern CMOS technologies are expected to reduce the maximum
resolution of analog to digital converters in voltage mode operation. This paper outlines the …

This paper presents a detailed study of the effect of the non-linear settling on the harmonic
distortion of Bandpass/spl Sigma//spl Delta/Modulators (BP-/spl Sigma//spl Delta/Ms) …

This paper considers the design of interpolative sigma delta communication systems
modulators (SDMs). The design problem is formulated as two different optimization …

Circuitos de amostragem e retenção de sinais analógicos são comumente implementados
com técnicas de chaveamento de capacitores (Switched Capacitor–SC). Circuitos SC …

As stated in Chapter 1, analog-to-digital conversion involves a number of tasks, namely:
Sampling the input signal at frequency fs, with prior anti-aliasing filtering and, in some cases …

This paper analyses the transient behaviour of SwItched-current (SI) memory cells placed at
the front-end of high-speed A/D interfaces. Based on the Volterra series method, the non …
