Generalized Radix Design of Low-Power, High-Performance Piplined & Cyclic ADCs

This research focuses on improved design techniques for low-power and high-performance pipelined and cyclic analog-to-digital data converters. The proposed innovations include the use of a generalized radix, and of novel building blocks such as interstage amplifiers. The resulting data converters may find many useful applications in medical imaging, bioengineering and communications.
