Design Techniques for Low-Voltage Analog-to-Digital Converter

would also like to thank my committee members for their valuable feedbacks. When I first start my study in the lab ECE245, there were numerous people who helped me. They include Hardy Schmidtbauer who were always good mentors to me. In particular, I would like to thank José Silva for helping me with valuable CAD support and Robert Batten for testing. It had been the equal pleasure working with the next group of people. Thanks to David Bruneau for sharing so many fun memories in and out of the school. Jacob Zechmann was always an enjoyable golf buddy. I also appreciate Matt Brown and Arun Rao for many exciting days in the bar. Thanks to Jipeng Li, our group meeting was always full of energy.Seok Yoo, and Xuesheng Wang showed me the true value of hard working. I will never forget Gil-Cho Ahn and Pavan Hanumolu for their many fruitful discussions on technical and personal matters during the last year of my study. I also wish Kye-Hyung Lee, Merrick Brownlee, Eric Wyers, and Charlie Myers enjoying many innovative works in their study. I am thankful to all the rest of my colleagues. I would like to thank Nat Dwarakanath and Scott Werner in Lucent Technologies for fabricating my first chip in OSU. I also acknowledge Shu-Ing Ju in National Semiconductors for supporting my second chip. Both works were also supported by NSF Center for Design of Analog-Digital Integrated Circuits (CDADIC). I thank my father, Ik-Soo Chang, my mother, Ae-Young Park, and my two sisters, Mi-Yoon and Soo-Young Chang for their support and love throughout this study. They were always a big inspiration to me. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Ji-Eun Shim, who showed endless support with her love and patience.
