MSc thesis project proposal

High Resolution High Efficiency Hybrid ADCs (NXP)

  • Recently, we have shown that high-resolution audio ADCs can be realized by combining the low power of SAR ADCs with the high-resolution of Sigma-delta ADCs [1]. Based on new insights, the aim of this project is to design and implement an improved ADC in a 160nm CMOS process.
