Modernization Of Laboratory Curriculum For The Undergraduate Digital Systems Course, Brolyne H. Onyango
Electrical Engineering Theses
We introduce a novel hybrid approach to modernize the curriculum for the Digital Systems course, using traditional circuit construction, simulation software and implementation of circuits using reconfigurable logic. The NI Multisim circuit simulation software and a Digilent Basys-3 board are utilized. Students will use a breadboard and chips to construct basic combinational circuits using logic gates. Next, they will use the NI Multisim to build and simulate circuits that are difficult to build physically. Finally, an FPGA board will be utilized to implement the most complex circuits. Typically, the use of FPGA technology requires knowledge of HDL, which is considered …

Design And Simulation Of An 8-Bit Successive Approximation Register Charge-Redistribution Analog-To-Digital Converter, Sumit K. Verma
Electrical Engineering Theses
The thesis initially investigates the history of the monolithic ADCs. The next chapter explores the different types of ADCs available in the market today. Next, the operation of a 4-bit SAR ADC has been studied. Based on this analysis, an 8-bit charge-redistribution SAR ADC has been designed and simulated with Multisim (National Instruments, Austin, TX). The design is divided into different blocks which are individually implemented and tested. Level-1 SPICE MOSFET models representative of 5μm devices were used wherever individual MOSFETs were used in the design. Finally, the power dissipation during the conversion period was also estimated. The supply voltage …
