Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss the well-known trade-off between speed, accuracy, and power consumption of Nyquist ADCs. To compare different architectures, I will introduce a framework capturing the most significant effects and trade-offs on a building block level which eventually impact the overall ADC performance. Moreover, I will incorporate the effects of technology scaling by considering the most significant technology parameters of several popular CMOS technologies. To conclude, I will use the presented framework to compare the most popular ADC architectures at different sample rates.
Biography:
Filip Tavernier is a professor in the MICAS research division of the Department of Electrical Engineering of KU Leuven since October 2015. His main research interests are analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for high-performance data converters, DC-DC converters, optical receivers, and cryogenic circuits. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from KU Leuven in 2011. He is a past member of the microelectronics group at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, as a senior fellow, developing chips for the LHC experiments. He is a TPC member of ESSCIRC and CICC and volunteers in the SSCS Benelux Chapter and is SSCS European Webinar Coordinator.
