VCO-Based Quantizers Using Frequency-to-Digital and Time-to-Digital Converters

  • Book
  • © 2011

Overview

  • Describes the use of Time-to-Digital Converters (TDC) in VCO-based quantizers.
  • A to model system non-idealities and develops behavioral models to capture the impact of both close-in and far-out phase noise of the VCO on both FDC and TDC based quantizers.
  • Develops closed-form expressions to analyze the performance of the quantizers in the presence of non-idealities
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book

This book introduces the concept of voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO)-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Detailed explanation is given of this promising new class of high resolution and low power ADCs, which use time quantization as opposed to traditional analog-based (i.e. voltage) ADCs.
