A High Input Impedance Readout Integrated Circuit based on Continuous-Time Sigma-Delta Modulator with FIR DAC Feedback

This thesis focuses on the design of a high input impedance sensor readout system based on a continuous-time sigma-delta modulator with finite-impulse-response digital-to-analog converter feedback.<br/><br/>Both the system-level and circuit-level design techniques of this system are investigated. The concept and design methods of finite-impulse...

Single Electron Readout Circuit: SERCuit

Particle detection circuits are used for a wide range of applications from experimental physics to material testing and medical imaging. State-of-the-art imaging systems demand the detection of small amounts of charge with small time-resolution and limited power consumption, creating an implementation dead-end for the typical readout topology....

Synchronization Of Wireless Accelerometer Sensors For Industrial Application

Wireless sensor networks play a vital role in major technological developments. The success of such networks depend on the quality and reliability of data acquisition. Despite a lot of research involving network clock synchronization, the area of synchronous sampling has not been dealt in much detail. This thesis aims at studying and...
