Fundamental of Data Converters
Graduate level, F15, F16
This focus of this course is on data converter circuits and systems. Commonly used architectures such as flash, two-step, pipelined, algorithmic, successive-approximation and oversampling delta-sigma modulators are discussed in details. The effects of circuit non-idealities are analyzed and various system and circuit techniques will be discussed to enhance the performance of these converters.
