Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Modern large scale signal processing integrated circuits for multimedia data processing still require interfaces to analogue signal sources. Increasingly, these signal sources are of relatively high bandwidth, either as video or high speed band limited data, which must be treated as analogue to effect signal recovery. Economics dictate that such circuits for the mass market be fabricated in the lowest cost basic processes and therefore options for passive components are undesirable. Pioneering work by the University has realised analogue to digital converters using switched current techniques which do not rely upon any passive components, either special or parasitic. This project aims to develop a design methodology for Switched-Current A/D converters over a range of resolution levels capable of rapid final design in present and future CMOS technologies, where supply voltages will fall from 3.3 to 2.5 volts and less. Pipeline A/D architectures will be concentrated upon and attention given to producing the robust low voltage system cells required, including high accuracy memory cells and high resolution power efficient comparators.
