This thesis describes the design and simulation of a capacitively-coupled autozeroed and chopped operational amplifier in the TSMC high-voltage BCD 0.18 μm 5 V technology. It uses chopping and autozeroing to achieve high precision (10 μV offset and 50 nV/√Hz noise density) and a capacitively-coupled input stage to safely handle beyond-the-rails...

Zoom ADCs combine a coarse SAR ADC with a fine delta-sigma modulator (?SM) to efficiently obtain high energy efficiency and high dynamic range. This makes them well suited for use in various instrumentation and audio applications. However, zoom ADCs also have drawbacks. The use of over-ranging in their fine modulators may limit SNDR, large...

Chopped Tape Thermoplastic Composites (CTTCs) offer high formability and performance for complex-shaped components in the aerospace and automotive industries. However, the mesoscopic discontinuity leads to spatial variabilities and correspondingly high scatter in the elastic properties of CTTCs due to the random orientations of chopped tapes...

Depth sensing technology has developed rapidly recently due to its broad applications. Time-of-Flight (ToF) is a popular technology in depth sensing because of its advantages in high measuring accuracy and low complexity in image processing. ToF technologies are divided into two kinds: indirect time-of-flight (iToF) and direct Time-of-Flight ...

This article presents a Class-D audio amplifier for capacitive piezoelectric speaker loads. Employing a dual voltage feedback (VFB)/current feedback (CFB) topology, the amplifier is capable of damping LC resonance without using an external damping resistor, therefore reducing system power consumption, cost, and size. Additional power savings are...

Class-D amplifiers are widely used in audio applications that require a high power efficiency. A high PSRR is beneficial when the power supply contains significant audio band content. Due to mismatches present in the feedback, these can dominate the PSRR of the class-D amplifier, provided the amplifier has sufficient loop gain. No literature has...

This paper reports a chopper Class-D audio amplifier that obtains high PSRR over the entire audio band. A chopping scheme is proposed to minimize intermodulation distortion between pulse-width modulation (PWM) and chopping in the audio band. A high-voltage chopper is developed to handle a 14.4 V PWM signal. Timing matching techniques are...

In chopper amplifiers, the interaction between the input signal and the chopper clock can give rise to intermodulation distortion (IMD). This chopper-induced IMD is mainly due to amplifier delay, which causes large pulses at the output of the amplifier's output chopper. This article proposes the use of a so-called fill-in technique to eliminate...

Today, 60% of the European mainline railway network is electrified with 80% of total traffic. It will further increase driven by The Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and sustainability initiatives. As electricity consumption by railway networks increases, quantification of rail transport’s actual energy consumption is essential....

Operational amplifiers are basic building blocks of an analog system. As a system is only as good as its building blocks. There exists a constant need for developing a high-performance amplifier. Especially if they are configured as a buffer for analog front-end applications, as the system performance is highly dependent on the quality of input...

When chopping is applied to a continuous-time sigmadelta modulator (CTΣΔM), quantization noise fold-back often occurs, leading to increased in-band noise. This can be prevented by employing a return-to-zero (RZ) digital-to-analog converter (RZ DAC) in the modulator's feedback path and arranging the chopping transitions to coincide with its RZ...

This paper presents an eddy-current sensor (ECS) interface intended for sub-nanometer (sub-nm) displacement sensing in hi-tech applications. The interface employs a 126-MHz excitation frequency to mitigate the skin effect, and achieve high resolution and stability. An efficient on-chip sensor offset compensation scheme is introduced which...

A sampled voltage reference aims to achieve both low-power and low-noise by storing the output of a voltage reference on a capacitor for a long time. This allows the reference to be switched off during the hold period, which leads to lower average power. At the same time, all the voltage reference's noise is pushed down into a bandwidth...

This paper presents a chopper instrumentation amplifier for interfacing precision thermistor bridges. For high CMRR and DC gain, the amplifier employs a three-stage current-feedback topology with nested-Miller compensation.
