12 Bit Charge Redistribution Digital To Analog Converter For The Residence Time Fluxgate Magnetometer, Miguel Angel Alamillo

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

The continuous advances in CMOS VLSI technology have culminated in high speed, low voltage CMOS digital circuits with gate delays below 50 ps at 1.5 V supply. At the same time, high voltage analog signal processing has fallen behind to the high flexibility and high reliability of DSP. However, the main drawback of DSP is the need for high accuracy low distortion data converters and as a consequence of the persistent efforts of reducing size, cost and power of solid-state components the field of CMOS Mixed-Signal circuit design has become of the utmost importance.

The obvious functionality of data converters …
