چکیده

Introduction A common use of high-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs) is providing controllable precision voltages. Applications for DACs with resolution up to 20 bits, precision up to 1 ppm, and reasonable speed include gradient coil control in medical MRI systems; precision dc sources in test and measurement; precision set-point and position control in mass spectrometry and gas chromatography; and beamprobing in scientific applications.

A 20-Bit (1 ppm) Linear Slope-Integrating A/D Converter

By combining an ‘‘inferior’’, 20 year old A/D conversion technique with a microprocessor, a developmental A/D converter achieves 1 part-per-million (20-bit) linearity. The absolute accuracy of the converter is primarily limited by the voltage reference available. The precision achieved by the unlikely combination of technologies surpasses conventional approaches by more than an order of magnitu...

A 2.5V 6.4mW 10-bit 140MS/s Digital-to-Analog Converter with Improved Current Mirror

A 10-bit 140MS/s digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with improved current mirror is presented. In order to improve the resolusion of a 10-bit DAC, a segmented decoding plus R-2R architecture will be introduced. DAC system modeling shows that the dynamic performance of the DAC is strongly dependent on the output impedance of DAC current source. The gain-boosting technique is applied to increase t...

A Fast and Efficient On-Line Harmonics Elimination Pulse Width Modulation for Voltage Source Inverter Using Polynomials Curve Fittings

The paper proposes an algorithm to calculate the switching angles using harmonic elimination PWM (HEPWM) scheme for voltage source inverter. The algorithm is based on curve fittings of a certain polynomials functions. The resulting equations require only the addition and multiplication processes; therefore, it can be implemented efficiently on a microprocessor. An extensive angle error analysis...

A High Precision and Low Power Digital Synchronous Clock for Sensor Network

The applications envisioned for sensor networks require collaborative execution of a distributed task amongst a large set of sensor nodes. This is realized by exchanging messages that are time-stamped using the local clocks on the nodes. Therefore, time synchronization becomes an indispensable piece of infrastructure in such systems. We propose a design of synchronous clock using digital tune m...
