Student project: CT pipeline ADC for arrayed readout system *Important for non-EU students: You'll need to be registered at a Dutch university to meet immigration requirements.
What you will do
To
achieve a small-area, low-power-consumption ADC for an arrayed readout system,
the signal filters in front and the digital signal post-processing also need to
be considered. This project focuses on CT pipeline ADCs for their wide signal
bandwidth and inherent anti-aliasing feature, and further investigates their
trade-off of using complex digital reconstruction filters for post-processing.
Aiming to look for a new balance of design effort between analog ADC and
digital filters, you will do: Literature studies
on state-of-the-art continuous time ADCs Architecture study and
proposal Thesis writing and
documentation Circuit implementation
including layout In case of high-quality
design: a chance to go through the whole tape-out procedure
What we do for you
You will be working in an inspiring high-tech environment, located within the Holst Centre in Eindhoven, and part of the larger IMEC organization, world-leader in R&D on nanotechnology and electronics. You will receive supervision from world-renown researchers in the field of ADCs, and collaborate with experts in different technical fields. You will get the opportunity to experience all steps of a research project, from architecture design to chip fabrication and possibly measurements.
Who you are
You are a MSc student You are available for a
period of 9-12 months Good analytical skills (e.
g. Mathematical skills) Good CAD skills (e. g.
MATLAB/Cadence) is a plus Knowledges of designing
CMOS circuits and system Knowledges of signal
processing and data converters Motivated student eager
to work independently and expand knowledge in the field Good written and verbal
English skills
