Current Sources and Ramp Generators
نویسنده
چکیده
For the analog-to-digital conversion lab, we need a resetable ramp generator. Here, we explore building a ramp generator from a current source. We implement a current source using an operational amplifier (Op Amp or OA) and then using a PNP transistor; the single-ended PNP source is used in the lab.

A distributed ramp signal generator of column-parallel single-slope ADCs for CMOS image sensors
This paper proposes a distributed ramp signal generator of column-parallel single-slope ADCs for CMOS image sensors. This architecture does not require any power-hungry amplifiers of the conventional one but consists of miniaturized column-wise ramp signal generators connected together by metal wires, which achieves high linearity and high uniformity. Simulation results show less than 1LSB nonl...
متن کاملEffects of Hall Current and Rotation in Modified Couple Stress Generalized Thermoelastic Half Space due to Ramp-Type Heating
The objective is to study the deformation in a homogeneous isotropic modified couple stress thermoelastic rotating medium in the presence of Hall current and magnetic field due to a ramp-type thermal source. The generalized theories of thermoelasticity developed by Lord Shulman (L-S, 1967) and Green Lindsay (G-L, 1972) are used to investigate the problem. Laplace and Fourier transform technique...
متن کاملLow-Power CMOS Ramp Generator Circuit for DC-DC Converters
Ramp-signal generators are particularly critical in controlling the frequency and dutycycle of pulse-width modulated (PWM) switching supplies. They are normally implemented with a timed charging current source into a capacitor and a reset switch controlled by two comparators whose reference signals set the lower and upper limits of the ramp. A fast comparator is required to ensure the reset ope...

Introducing distributed generation into a power system can lead to numerous benefits including technical, economic, environmental, etc. To attain these benefits, distributed generators with proper rating should be installed at suitable locations. Given the similar effects of distributed generators and capacitor banks on operation indices of a distribution system, simultaneous assignment of best...
متن کاملVery Linear Ramp-Generators for High Resolution ADC BIST and Calibration
Two very linear ramp-generator designs are presented. The circuits are to be used in high-resolution ADC built-in-self-test (BIST) and on-chip calibration. The first design is to charge a capacitor by a small current, which is linear enough to test 14-bit ADCs. The second design is in a relaxation oscillator architecture. It is linear enough to test up to 12-bit ADCs. The two designs have been ...
