In recent years, analog to digital converter is significant component in high frame rate system. But, in the future. as long as minimum line width is reduced, matching between speed and resolution may be worse. In this paper, first-order $\Sigma-\Delta$ analog to digital converter is adopted and designed as its solutions. Hspice simulation is performed, using $0.65{\mu}m$ CMOS 2-poly 2-metal model parameter.

A threshold-voltage sensing circuit is proposed to compensate for pixel aging in active matrix organic light-emitting diodes. The proposed threshold-voltage sensing circuit consists of sample-hold (S/H) circuits and a single-ended successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a resolution of 10 bits. To remove a scale down converter of each S/H circuit and a voltage gain amplifier with a signl-to-differentail converter, the middle reference voltage calibration and input range calibration for the single-ended SAR ADC are performed in the capacitor digital-to-analog converter and reference driver. The proposed threshold-voltage sensing circuit is designed by using a 180-nm CMOS process with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. The ENOB and power consimption of the single-ended SAR ADC are 9.425 bit and 2.83 mW, respectively.

In this paper, Pipelined A/D converter with multi SHA structure is proposed for high speed operation. The proposed structure incorporates a multi SHA block that consists of multiple SHAs of identical characteristics in parallel to improve the conversion speed. The designed multi SHA is operated by non-overlapping clocks and the sampling speed can be improved by increasing the number of multiplexed SHAs. Pipelined A/D converter, applying the proposed structure, is designed to satisfy requirement of analog front-end of VDSL modem. The measured INL and DNL of designed A/D converter are $0.52LSB{\sim}-0.50LSB\;and\;0.80LSB{\sim}-0.76LSB$, respectively. It satisfies the design specifications for VDSL modems. The simulated SNR is about 66dB which corresponds to a 10.7 bit resolution. The power consumption is 24.32mW.

Conventionally, ZVS FB DC/DC converter was controlled by monolithic IC UC3879, which includes the functions of oscillator, error amplifier and phase-shift circuit. Also, microprocessor and DSP have been widely used for the remote control and for the immediate waveform control in ZVS FB DC/DC converter. However the conventional microprocessor controller is complex and difficult to control because the controller consists of analog and digital parts. In the case of the control of FB DC/DC converter, the output is required of driving a direct signal to the switch drive circuits by the digital controller. So, this paper presents the method and realization of designing the digital-to-phase shift PWM circuit controlled by DSP (TMX320C32) in a 2,500A, 40㎾ WS FB DC/DC converter.

This paper presents hardware implementation of background timing-skew calibration technique for time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI ADCs). The timing skew between any two adjacent analog-digital (A/D) channels is detected by using pure digital Finite Impulse Response (FIR) delay filter. This paper includes hardware architecture of the system, main units and small sub-blocks along with control logic circuits. Moreover, timing diagrams of logic simulations using ModelSim are provided and discussed for further understanding about simulations. Simulation process in MATLAB and Verilog is also included and provided with basic settings need to be done. For hardware implementation it not practical to work with all samples. Hence, the simulation is conducted on 512 TI ADC output samples which are stored in the buffer simultaneously and the correction arithmetic is done on those samples according to the time skew algorithm. Through the simulated results, we verified the implemented hardware is working well.

A 1 GHz CMOS fast-lock phase-locked loop (PLL) is proposed to support the quick wake-up time of mobile consumer electronic devices. The proposed fast-lock PLL consists of a conventional charge-pump PLL, a frequency-to-digital converter (FDC) to measure the frequency of the input reference clock, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to generate the initial control voltage of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The initial control voltage of the VCO is driven toward a reference voltage that is determined by the frequency of the input reference clock in the initial mode. For the speedy measurement of the frequency of the reference clock, an FDC with a parallel architecture is proposed, and its architecture is similar to that of a flash analog-to-digital converter. In addition, the frequency-to-voltage converter used in the FDC is designed simply by utilizing current integrators. The circuits for the proposed fast-lock scheme are disabled in the normal operation mode except in the initial mode to reduce the power consumption. The proposed PLL was fabricated by using a 0.18-${\mu}m$ 1-poly 6-metal complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process with a 1.8 V supply. This PLL multiplies the frequency of the reference clock by 10 and generates the four-phase clock. The simulation results show a reduction of up to 40% in the worstcase PLL lock time over the device operating conditions. The root-mean-square (rms) jitter of the proposed PLL was measured as 2.94 ps at 1 GHz. The area and power consumption of the implemented PLL are $400{\times}450{\mu}m^2$ and 6 mW, respectively.

Feed-back type 3-axis flux-gate magnetometer using Co-based amorphous ribbon (Metglass$^{(R)}$2714A) was constructed in this work. Measuring range of magnetic field and frequency were ${\pm}100\;{\mu}T$ and dc~10 Hz respectively. For the interface to computer, microcontroller and 24 bit ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) were employed and resolution of digital output was 0.1 nT. Magnetometer noise of analog output was 5 pT/$\sqrt{Hz}$ at 1 Hz. Digital output of the magnetometer showed linearity of $1{\times}10^{-4}$ and the offset drift was smaller than 0.2 nT during 1 h.

The conventional analog-based firing circuit can be implemented by comparing a linearly decreasing periodic sawtooth waveform synchronized to the ac supply, with a control signal corresponding to the desired converter delay angle. This circuit requires a large number of passive components (resistance and capacitor) and careful adjustment of the synchronization circuity. In this paper a novel firing circuit is proposed for thyristor switch. The proposed circuit is implemented by using digital components(FPGA, A/D, and DSP etc.) on the basis of the analog cosine method.

Because the digital control includes microprocessor different from an analog control, the digital control enables to monitor internal parameters of DC-DC converter and to control output voltage remotely by communicating with a Window based PC and also to monitor whether exact voltage is output or not. These things are impossible in an analog control. In this paper, a simple buck converter controlled by DSP(TMS320C31) is implemented. This converter outputs 0V to 5V from 15V input voltage and is controlled by a PD algorithm using DSP. Finally the response characteristics of a step reference voltage and in a steady state are analyzed to verify the usefulness of this digital controlled converter.
