Student project: CT pipeline ADC for arrayed readout system
*Important for non-EU students: You'll need to be registered at a Dutch university to meet immigration requirements.
What you will do
Toachieve a small-area, low-power-consumption ADC for an arrayed readout system,the signal filters in front and the digital signal post-processing also need tobe considered. This project focuses on CT pipeline ADCs for their wide signalbandwidth and inherent anti-aliasing feature, and further investigates theirtrade-off of using complex digital reconstruction filters for post-processing.Aiming to look for a new balance of design effort between analog ADC anddigital filters, you will do:
What we do for you
You will be working in an inspiring high-tech environment, located within the Holst Centre in Eindhoven, and part of the larger IMEC organization, world-leader in R&D on nanotechnology and electronics. You will receive supervision from world-renown researchers in the field of ADCs, and collaborate with experts in different technical fields. You will get the opportunity to experience all steps of a research project, from architecture design to chip fabrication and possibly measurements.

- Literature studies on state-of-the-art continuous time ADCs
- Architecture study and proposal
- Thesis writing and documentation
- Circuit implementation including layout
- In case of high-quality design: a chance to go through the whole tape-out procedure
