True Random Number Generator based on a Sigma-Delta Modulator
نویسنده
چکیده
First of all, I would like to express my appreciation of Dr.-Ing Jens Sauerbrey for his invitation to do a master thesis project under his supervision and for his patient guidance during my master thesis project hold at Infineon Technologies AG in Munich. I was truly very fortunate to have the opportunity to work under him as a master student. In addition to providing his expert guidance in circuit design issues for Sigma-Delta modulators, he also provided help in technical writing style and presentation style, and I found this guidance to be extremely valuable from which I learned many practical issues concerning real analog circuit design. I enjoyed also his tips for hiking trips through the Alps and explanations of the funny embarrassing bureaucracy organization in Germany.

Time-Mode Signal Quantization for Use in Sigma-Delta Modulators
The rapid scaling in modern CMOS technology has motivated the researchers to design new analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architectures that can properly work in lower supply voltage. An exchanging the data quantization procedure from the amplitude to the time domain, can be a promising alternative well adapt with the technology scaling. This paper is going to review the recent development in t...

This paper presents a comparative analysis between two current control strategies, constant source power and generalized Fryze current, used in Active Power Filter (APF) applications having three different modulation methods. The Hysteresis Band (HB) and first-order Delta-Sigma Modulation (DSM) as well as the second-order DSM is applied. The power section of the active power filter is viewed as...
متن کاملTesting Second-Order Delta-Sigma Modulators Using Pseudo-Random Patterns
Single-bit second-order delta-sigma modulators are commonly used in high-resolution ADCs. This type of modulator requires high-resolution test stimulus, which is difficult to generate. This paper proposes a novel and robust technique to determine the performance of the modulator by characterizing its key parameters using a pseudo-random pattern sequence. This technique is suitable for BIST appl...

This paper proposes an improved control method based on modified Delta-Sigma Modulator (DSM) to enhance transient response and improve harmonic contents of buck DC-DC converter. The main advantages of the proposed method are improving the output voltage frequency spectrum, correction of the output voltage harmonic contents and sideband harmonics, reduction of switching noise peaks at the output...
متن کاملQuadrature delta sigma modular design with adjustable bandwidth and center frequency
In this paper, a flexible Continuous time (CT) feedforward (FF) quadrature delta sigma modulator (QDSM) with variable bandwidth (BW) is proposed. The modulator BW and center frequency (fc) are variable which can be adjusted with two separate parameters. The modulator signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) will be optimized by these parameters at every center frequency and bandwidth. The modulator BW is ch...
