For the measurement of physical quantities, analog sensors are usually used, which provide a proportional voltage signal from the output value. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is required to process this measurement data at the system level. Depending on the requirements, there are various converter topologies that differ in parameters such as sampling rate, resolution or current consumption. In addition to a high resolution, the converter topology based on the sigma-delta principle also offers the advantage of noise shaping. This shifts the interfering quantization noise spectrally to higher frequencies, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio. This makes this ADC topology particularly suitable for sensor signals with slow to medium rates of change.
The objective of this work is to compare different realization variants of sigma-delta ADCs and to implement a suitable topology based on a previously defined specification in a 180 nm CMOS technology.
We strengthen enterprises with application-oriented research and development in microelectronics, systems engineering and mechatronics and transfer the results of basic research into applications and products. We support companies in launching internationally successful innovations for health, the environment and industry and provide solutions from the feasibility study to series production.
We thank you for your interest in working with us.
For the tasks described in the job offer and with the existing working conditions, an application is possible irrespective of gender and/or any physical disabilities. We foster professional equality of women and men. We invite women in particular to apply. As women are underrepresented at IMMS, they will be given priority in the case of equal suitability, ability and professional performance.
