    How to drive a SC sigma delta ADC with high liearity?

    Folks, Anyone has experience or idea of how to drive the switched capacitor sigma delta ADC to achieve the high linearity especially for high SNR ones (i.e. sample cap is big)? Suppose the linearity performance of the ADC is high enough, it seems that the front-end opamp like PGA to drive the...

    How to remove DC for windowed FFT for spectral analysis?

    Hi zorro, Thank you very much for your help. I agree your statement about DC. Then my question goes to how to correctly remove DC for spectral analysis using window. It looks like I have to drop more bins anyway (i.e. 2 for hanning window and more for other window), otherwise SNR calculated...

    How to remove DC for windowed FFT for spectral analysis?

    Folks, Since windowed FFT of a signal with DC offset will produce the shape of the FFT of the window function around DC bins, which may mask out the interested signals at those bins, I'd like to remove DC component "during" FFT analysis. My question is whether to remove the DC offset of the...

    Any one familiar with the definition? Thanks!

    Help with DAC topology selection

    Folks, I'd like to choose a DAC topology to have below spec: 1. 100KHz sample rate 2. 10 bit 3. minimum DNL but much relaxed requirements on INL Can anyone suggest a topology to have smallest area? Thanks, SQ

    Relationship between monotony and INL/DNL for DAC

    Hi Guys, I'm newbie on nyquist DAC/ADC. Is there any material/doc having theoretical proof of relationship between a DAC being monotonic and maximum INL/DNL? Thanks in advance!

    How to determine needed GBW and DC gain of the LDO from spec?

    I actually mean f0dB of the open loop gain of a LDO. And I borrowed the term GBW from amplifier. Here is what I think: although LDO is not a amplifier to amplify signal, it does act like a amplifier to reject supply noise or transient load dump. So I guess these performance will be related to...

    How to determine needed GBW and DC gain of the LDO from spec?

    Thanks, anything else except DC PSR to deternmine the DC gain. How about GBW?

    Could anyone explain these to me? Thanks!

    Help! A puzzlement about noise sampling & reconstruction

    a bandlimit white noise x(t) with PSD of S0 is sampled (no aliasing) to produce x[n]. The PSD of x[n] is calculated to be S0/Ts (Ts is the sample period). Now I just reconstruct the continuous noise xr(t) by passing x[n] impulses to the ideal reconstruction filter (gain=Ts, -fs<f<fs). The...

    How to make ideal OTA(Gm) in candence ? ^^

    spectre operational transconductance amplifier (1) usually 60 degree across PVT corners is sufficient, 90 degree seems to be overdesigned (2) you can refer to Willy Sansen's "analog deisng esstential", there is a whole chapter on analog filters. It can be found in this forum.

    How to make ideal OTA(Gm) in candence ? ^^

    ideal ota in cadence yes, simply attach it to the gnd because the output voltage of lpf is also referenced to gnd. you are welcome.

    How to make ideal OTA(Gm) in candence ? ^^

    spectre vccs Yes, in practical single-ended version of low pass filter is sufficient as long as you keep outputs of VCCS floating as differential outputs. You probally need another ideal CMFB (balun in spectre) circuit to bias your output common mode voltage

    Unbelievable Precision Problem of Matlab's FFT

    a simple script segment to do FFT for a tone plus additive white noise. nbpts = 32768; fs = 1e3*nbpts; nbprds = 7; fi = fs/nbpts*nbprds; amplitude = 1; pnoise = 1e-6; noise = random('norm',0,sqrt(pnoise),1,nbpts); signal = amplitude*sin(2*pi*fi/fs*[0:nbpts-1]) + noise...
