What This Document Is
This document outlines a project assignment for ECE 627, Oversampled Delta-Sigma Data Converters, at Oregon State University. It details the requirements for designing a delta-sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) specifically for video applications. The assignment was originally due June 11, 2010.
Why This Document Matters
This project is intended for graduate students enrolled in the specified course. It serves as a practical application of the theoretical concepts covered in the curriculum, challenging students to apply their knowledge to a real-world design problem. It’s a key component of assessing a student’s ability to design and analyze delta-sigma ADCs.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a specific assignment and does not provide a comprehensive tutorial on delta-sigma ADC design. It assumes prior knowledge of the subject matter. It also references external resources (toolboxes and reports) that are not included within this document itself.
What This Document Provides
The document includes:
* Specific design specifications (signal bandwidth, clock frequency, accuracy).
* Guidance on pre-design considerations (SQNR, SNR, modulator architecture).
* References to relevant resources, including Schreier’s DS Toolbox, Brian Young’s report, and a Simulink toolbox.
* A starting point for NTF synthesis and verification using the toolbox.
* Information on realizing the NTF into coefficients and scaling for implementation.
This preview does *not* include the full design solutions, simulation results, Simulink models, or detailed code examples. It only outlines the project requirements and available resources.
