Digital-input Class-D audio amplifier

Digital input Class-D audio amplifiers offer many advantages over their analog counterparts such as more flexibility, EMI immunity and smaller chip area. In these amplifiers, usually an analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog converter is needed which also must deliver high SNR and linearity. In this project, new techniques will be explored to enhance these performance.

Assignment

The following project activities are expected:

·         Comprehensive literature study

·         System-level behaviour model

·         Transistor-level circuit design

·         A tapeout is highly encouraged

·         Thesis writing

Requirements

You are an ambitious master student with good analog circuit design knowledge and high motivation. You should have obtained good grades from the following courses: Measurement and instrumentation, Analog circuit design fundamentals, CMOS I/II, Power conversion in CMOS technology.
