BER-optimal analog-to-digital converters for communication links
In this thesis, we propose BER-optimal analog-to-digital converters (ADC) where quantization levels and thresholds are set non-uniformly to minimize the bit-error rate (BER). This is in contrast to present-day ADCs which act as transparent waveform preservers. We define the ADC shaping gain metric …

System-Aware Design of Energy-Efficient High-Speed I/O Links
… order of 10-to-30 mW/Gb/s and a bit error-rate (BER) target of 10^(-12) or lower. State-of-the-art I/O links consist of a transmit driver, PLL, equalizer, clock recovery unit and comparator, primarily implemented with mixed-signal components, to achieve the desired BER without forward error …

Energy-efficient systems for information transfer and processing
… (SNDR) and effective-number-of-bits (ENOB) as performance metrics because these are the standard for generic ADC design. This dissertation presents the use of information-based metrics such as bit-error-rate (BER) to design a BER-optimal ADC (BOA) for serial links. First, …
