The current trend in the state-of-the-art oscillators achieves low phase noise performance. Such stringent performance is demanded in modern Communication Systems. This thesis proposes the design of a CMOS oscillator achieving the ultra-low phase noise. This design is based on TSMC 40 nm technology, the supply voltage is 1.1 V, and the...

Meekes, Bauke (author)
This work proposes an energy harvesting DC-DC converter that is able to efficiently process a wide input power range from 25 mW up to 250 mW, to charge a storage device used in Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. An interleaved boost-converter topology with two inductors is used to divide the high currents over the two branches, in order to...

Treatment of diseases, illnesses or disorders are always sought without any undesired side-effects and complications. Neurological disorders, such as Epilepsy and Parkinson’s, are currently treated using pharmaceuticals. However, drugs have a low specificity and lose their effectiveness after several years. In addition, prolonged drug usage...

Boele, Jelle (author)
This thesis describes the design of a CMOS magnetic field sensor system for measuring electronic currents. A hybrid system, using Hall plates and a pick-up loop is chosen to obtain improved performance compared to conventional Hall based magnetic field sensors. The pick up loop enables to reduce the current consumption and increases the...

Grubor, Miloš (author)
This thesis describes the design of a digital backend for a resistor-based temperature sensor realized in a 180nm CMOS process. The sensor’s analog frontend outputs a bitstream at 500kHz, which is then decimated and linearized with the help of 3 different polynomials, whose coefficients are obtained after a calibration process. A polynomial...

van der Velden, Joram (author)
This work proposes an energy harvesting platform that is able to convert power from both DC sources (photo-voltaic cells and TEGs) as well as piezo element sources. It does so only using a single input channel to which a single harvester can be connected. The proposed system is able to differentiate between the two source...

The functioning of the brain depends on the interplay between a large number of neurons. To understand the information processing in neuronal networks, we need tools to record the electrical activity of cells at high resolution. Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are predominantly used to measure neuronal activity<br/>at high spatial and temporal...

As technology is advancing, the need for precision stages is increasing. These stages are being used with (electron) microscopes for scientific research and industrial applications. They can be operated manually or by actuators, where the motorized stages are quite expensive in general and the cost increase significantly if better performance is...

An ASIC is presented for intra-vascular ultrasound imaging. Despite being connected via a single coaxial cable, it is able to pass arbitrary high voltage bipolar signals to the transducers for acoustic imaging. The thesis talks about the need to reduce the cable count to one and reviews the existing work in literature. It builds up on an...

Analog-to-digital converters are important blocks in any electronic system which act as a bridge between analog signals and digital processors. The conventional SAR ADC employs a binary search algorithm and has emerged as the most suitable solution for low-power applications, due to its excellent power efficiency. The proposed ADC architecture...

Quantum computers are able to deal with large problems, like molecular modelling, financial prediction and cryptography. A classical controller is used to control the qubits of the quantum computer. A proposed controller, operating at 4K, needs a clean voltage supply in order to function well. The long interconnects between the room temperature...

Quantum computers seem very promising in solving problems that are too large to be solved by classical computers that are available today. However, to generate reasonable amounts of computing power, many qubits will be required. Each of the qubits has to be individually controlled and needs to be kept at cryogenic temperatures. To allow for the...

This work describes a low-power and low-cost alternative to mechanical wind sensors, suitable for volume production in standard CMOS processes. The CMOS wind sensor operates in the electro-thermal domain; therefore, it has no moving parts and therefore requires very little maintenance. Moreover, the CMOS wind sensor is an active sensor, compared...

It is well-known that GPS is a widely used technology for localization in outdoors environments. Nonetheless, such standard fails to provide a practical and accurate solution for localization and ranging applications within indoor environments due to the need of satellites and meter-level accuracy, which is poor for indoor environments. It is in...

Distance measurement using ultrasonic waves is employed in a wide range of industrial applications. In this thesis our main goal is to investigate the possibility of processing ultrasonic signals with a ??-modulator and to process its bitstream output signal with the cross-correlation technique, while being independent of the transducer that is...
