Objective
The AD 2000 project aimed to develop advanced analogue/digital and digital/analogue converter architectures for low-cost CMOS technology capable of addressing the needs of emerging systems in the communications and consumer electronics industry.
The AD 2000 project aims to develop advanced analogue to digital and digital to analogue converter architectures for low cost complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology capable of addressing the needs of emerging systems in the communications and consumer electronics industry.
The following results were recorded at the half way stage of this project.
Extra functionality covering detailed noise analysis and innovative global constrained optimization routines has been added to the previously reported TOSCA simulation, which is a tool for the design of oversampled delta sigma analogue digital converters.
A dedicated behavioural simulator for high speed convertors has been developed which is being used to study and design convertors with selftest capabilities.
The design of a reconfigurable analogue to digital (AD) and digital to analogue (DA) convertor system operating at 10 million samples per second with 10 bit resolution has been completed.
A highly linear, high speed output buffer has been developed for use as a building block for high speed convertor applications. The measured performances of the block compare very favourably with thecurrent state of the art
The operating environment is as follows :
Computer aided design (CAD) and design methodologies
As projections of the world market for ASICs show, the portion of mixed analogue-digital systems will rise steadily. The realisation of high-performance low-cost converters is crucial for the successful development of commercially viable products. AD 2000's main goals are to stretch state-of-the-art performance limits with respect to speed and resolution, to improve CAD tools for architecture-level synthesis of converters, and to address functional testing and characterisation issues for improved quality control and reduced production costs.
