Topic:
Continuous-Time Pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converters - Where Filtering Meets Analog-to-Digital Conversion
Abstract:
If someone told you that the power, noise, distortion, and area of a mixed-signal block could be reduced simultaneously, you'd probably think this was a lie. It turns out that it is indeed possible sometimes - and this talk will present an example called the continuous-time pipeline (CTP) ADC. The CTP is an emerging technique that combines filtering with analog-to-digital conversion. Like a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (CTDSM), a CTP has a "nice" input impedance that is easy to drive and has inherent anti-aliasing. However, unlike a CTDSM, a CTP does not require a high-speed feedback loop to be closed. As a result, it can achieve significantly higher bandwidth (like a Nyquist ADC). After discussing the operating principles behind the CTP, we describe the fundamental benefits of the CTP over a conventional signal chain that incorporates an anti-alias filter and a Nyquist-rate converter. We will then show design details and measurement results from a 12-bit ENOB, 100MHz 800MS/s CTP designed in a 65nm CMOS process.
Speaker Biography:

6:00 PM (1 hour) - Abstract:
- “Plastic Pollution and its Sustainable Management Utilizing Green Economy Strategies”
with Alok Prasad Das, Department of Life Sciences, Rama Devi Women’s University, Odisha, India
Date/Time: Tuesday, February 25, 2025; 6:00-7:00 pm PST, 9-10 pm EST, 7:30-8:30 am IST
Abstract:
The Earth’s biosphere represents a natural ecosystem characterized by intrinsic self-remediation mechanisms; nonetheless, the contemporary tempo of resource extraction and the associated depletion of natural resources underscore alarming detrimental ecological trends.
The life cycle of plastic materials presently poses a significant threat to planetary boundaries, suggesting that pollution resulting from plastics may surpass a critical threshold, thereby engendering enduring global ramifications for climate, ecosystems, and levels of biodiversity. The majority of the compounds that confer distinctive properties to plastics, including hardness, durability, malleability, color, and plasticity, are emitted into the atmosphere during incineration practices. This process releases a plethora of hazardous substances into the air, adversely affecting human skin and visual health, increasing the likelihood of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, provoking headaches and nausea, and potentially inflicting damage to neurological and reproductive systems.
The pervasive environmental challenges necessitate the adoption of greener technologies that uphold the integrity of global environmental issues, irrespective of their complexity and the solutions required for implementation. The integration of waste management with environmental sustainability and economic development constitutes a fundamental milestone within the framework of a circular economy. There exists an urgent imperative for developing nations to advance towards a circular economy in order to fulfil their sustainable development objectives. To genuinely progress towards a circular economy, structural enhancements and the innovation of novel materials recovery methodologies are essential. Greener technologies are regarded as an innovative paradigm that facilitates economic advancement while simultaneously ensuring the preservation of environmental sustainability.
