| Title: SWITCHCRAFT (or How to Perform Accurate and Linear Data Conversion Using Inaccurate Nonlinear Elements) |
| Speaker: Prof. Gabor C. Temes, IEEE Life-Fellow Oregon State University, Corvallis |
| Time and Location: Friday, May 10, 2002 5 - 6 PM SF1105, Sanford Flemming Building, 10 King's College Road University of Toronto Refreshments will be served. All are welcome. |
| Abstract: This lecture provides a tutorial overview of some recently developed mixed-mode methods for enhancing the accuracy and linearity of analog-to-digital as well as digital-to-analog data converters. This is achieved by embedding auxiliary digital circuitry which calibrates, cancels or corrects the errors introduced by the inherent imperfections of the analog components used in the conversion. Simple but practical examples are used to illustrate the various improvement techniques. |
