Download or read book A Second-Order ΣΔ ADC Using Sputtered IGZO TFTs written by Ana Paula Pinto Correia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books discusses the design, electrical simulation and layout of a 2nd-order ∑∆ analog-to-digital converter (ADC), using oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) technology. The authors provide a unified view of materials science and electronics engineering, in order to guide readers from both fields through key topics. To accomplish this goal, background regarding materials, device physics, characterization techniques, circuit design and layout is given together with a detailed discussion of experimental data. The final simulation results clearly demonstrate the potential of the proposed circuit-level techniques, which enables the implementation of robust and energy efficient ADCs based on oxide TFTs, for moderate resolutions and conversion-rates.
