In this paper, the low voltage 3V Sigma-Delta Digital Analog Converter(DAC) is designed for using in the transmitter of ADSL analog front-end. We have developed the CMOS DAC according to ANSI T1.413-2(DMT) standard specifications of the chip. The designed 4th-order DAC is composed of three block which are 1-bit DAC, 1st-order Switched-Capacitor filter and analog active 2nd-order Resistor-Capacitor(RC) filter. The HSPICE simulation of the designed DAC showing 65db SNR, is connected with 1.1MHz continuous lowpass filter. And also, we have performed the circuits verification and layout verification(ERC, DRC, LVS) followed by fabrication using TSMC 2-poly 5-metal p-substrate CMOS $0.35{\mu}m$ processing parameter. Finally, the chip testing has been performed and presented in the results.

The charge redistribution digital-to-analog converter(CR-DAC) is often used for successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter(SAR ADC) that requiring low power consumption and small circuit area. However, CR-DAC is required 2 to the power of N unit capacitors to generate reference voltage for successive approximation of the N-bit SAR ADC, and many unit capacitors occupy large circuit area and consume more power. In order to improve this problem, this paper proposes SAR ADC using series capacitor DAC. The series capacitor DAC is required 2(1+N) unit capacitors to generate reference voltage for successive approximation and charges only two capacitors of the reference generation block. Because of these structural characteristics, the SAR ADC using series capacitor DAC can reduce the power consumption and circuit area. Proposed SAR ADC was designed in CMOS 180nm process, and at 1.8V supply voltage and 500kS/s sampling rate, proposed 6-bit SAR ADC have signal-to-noise and distortion ratio(SNDR) of 36.49dB, effective number of bits(ENOB) of 5.77-bit, power consumption of 294uW.

A switched-capacitor cyclic DAC scheme with mismatch compensation of capacitors is designed. In cyclic DAC, a little error between two capacitors is accumulated every cycle. As a result, the accumulated error influences the final analog output which is wrong data. Therefore, a mismatch compensation technique was proposed and the error can be effectively reduced, which alleviates the matching requirement. In order to verify the operation of the proposed DAC, an 8-bit switched-capacitor cyclic DAC is designed through HSPICE simulation and implemented through magna 0.18um standard CMOS process.

The Capacitor DAC with gamma correction is proposed for TFT-LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) driver application. It is based on two ideas. First, 6bit digital code is converted 8bit digital code by memory circuit (Look Up Table) for gamma correction. second, weighted voltage ratio DAC is proposed for reducing area and power consumption.

This work describes a power and area efficient switched-capacitor cyclic DAC for mobile display drivers. The proposed DAC can be simply implemented with one opamp two capacitors and several switches. Furthermore, the op-amp input referred offset is attenuated at the DAC output without additional offset cancellation circuitry. The operation of the cyclic DAC is verified through circuit level simulations.

이진가중치 전하재분배 DAC는 커패시터를 기반으로 구동하고 커패시터 값에 따라서 데이터 변환을 시킨다. 전하재분배 DAC의 성능을 결정하는 가장 중요한 요소는 정확한 커패시터와 트랜지스터 소자들의 크기와 특성의 보장이다. 그러나 고해상도의 DAC에서는 회로의 레이아웃 설계시의 mismatch와 칩의 공정변화에 의해 다양한 기생소자 성분 발생과 소자특성의 변화를 피하기는 매우 어렵다. 이러한 소자 mismatch는 DAC 각 비트의 해당 아날로그 값에 비선형 오차를 발생시켜 SNDR 성능저하를 가져오게 된다. 본 논문에서는 커패시터 mismatch에 의한 DAC의 데이터 오차를 감지하고 이를 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 2개의 동일한 DAC를 사용한다. 2개의 DAC는 고정된 차이를 가진 2개의 디지털 입력을 사용함으로써 각각 데이터가 변환된다. 비교기는 허용되는 차이 보다 큰 비선형 오차를 찾을 수 있다. 우리가 제안하는 보정 방법은 비교기가 오차를 제거 할 때 까지 DAC의 커패시터 사이즈를 바꾸면서 미세한 조정을 할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션은 12bit 이진가중치 전하재분배 디지털-아날로그 변환기의 커패시터 mismatch 보정과 비선형 오차를 효과적으로 감지하는 방법을 나타낸다.

This paper describes a low-power, SNDR (signal-to-noise and distortion ration) enhanced SAR (successive approximation register) type 12b ADC (analog-to-digital converter) with noise shaping technique. For low power consumption and small chip size of the DAC (digital-to-analog converter), the top plate sampling technique and the dummy capacitor switching technique are used to implement 12b operation with a 10b capacitor array in DAC. Noise shaping technique is applied to improve the SNDR by reducing the errors from the mismatching of DAC capacitor arrays, the errors caused by attenuation capacitor and the errors from the comparator noise. The proposed SAR ADC is designed with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The simulation results show that the SNDR of the SAR ADC without the noise shaping technique is 71 dB and that of the SAR ADC with the noise shaping technique is 84 dB. We can achieve the 13 dB improvement in SNDR with this noise shaping technique. The power consumption is $73.8{\mu}W$ and the FoM (figure-of-merit) is 5.2fJ/conversion-step.

Rail-to-rail 입력 범위를 가지는 200kS/s 10-bit successive approximation (SA) ADC가 제안된다. 제안된 SA ADC는 DAC, 비교기, 그리고 successive approximation register (SAR) logic으로 구성된다. DAC는 전력소모를 줄이고 면적을 줄이기 위해 capacitor를 이용한 folded-type으로 구현되며, parasitic 성분에 의한 영향을 줄이기 위해 boosted NMOS switch를 사용한다. 또한 fully differential voltage-to-time converter를 이용하는 time-domain comparator를 제안한다. 이는 PSRR 및 CMRR을 향상시킨다. 또한 출력의 유효구간을 반으로 줄인 flip-flop을 사용함으로 SAR logic의 전력소모와 chip area를 줄인다. 제안된 SA ADC는 1V supply를 가지는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 사용한다.

This paper presents an area efficient 8-bit current digital to analog convector (DAC) which is applied to 240 channels Active Matrix - Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) data driver. The proposed circuit constitutes 4-bit binary weighted current DAC and 4-bit switched capacitor cyclic DAC. The proposed DAC has about 70% smaller area than that of the typical binary weighted current DAC. We overcome sampling time by reducing the number of repetition phases so that it can display 8-bit gray scale image.

A design methodology of analog circuits for a CMOS stereo 16-bit Δ$\Sigma$ DAC which are suitable for the digital audio applications is described. The limitations of Δ$\Sigma$ DAC exist in the performance of the 1-bit DAC and that of the smoothing filter. The proposed architecture for analog circuits contains the buffer between the digital modulator and the following analog stage and adopts the SCF (switched capacitor filter) and DSC (differential-to-single converter) scheme. In this paper, a guide line for the selection of the filter type for the SCF design in the Δ$\Sigma$ DAC is suggested through the analytical approaches.
