Original Title:
Design of Analog to Digital Converters
Translated title:
Design of Analog to Digital Converters
Summary:
In this thesis we study the design of two different Analog to Digital converter (ADC) architectures. The one is a 7-bit successive approximation register (SAR) and the other is a 9-bit 1st order sigma delta converter. We analyze the functionality and operation of each block and of the overall circuit for both architectures. Our analysis is supported with circuits simulations using the free LTspice simulator. The circuits were implemented using discrete components. We designed a multilayer printed circuit board using the open source KiCAD software. We assembled the manufactured board and measured the performance of the circuits. The results are presented.
