In this course, the design space and the application of the data converters will be explored. It will not be a series of lectures on ADC design and analysis. Wet will explore these type of ADC needed for the relevant applications.

We will also look at the sensor interface read out IC circuits to understand the ADC application.

1. Data Converters

   • Time to digital converters

   • Analog voltage to data converter

   • Digital to Analog converters

     
     

2. ADC Design and Simulation

   1. Near Nyquist performance of Opamp for ADC Circuits

   2. Spectral Analysis and No. of FFT Points for simulation

   3. Simulation time for performance

   4. Resistors – their variation and Calibration

   5. Switch design for S/H

   6. CDAC - Capacitive DAC for Sigma Delta ADC
