MayAbstract:
A CMOS analogue circuit for Gaussian noise generation as well as a novel circuit for transforming Gaussian noise into uniform noise, both designed for operating with a supply voltage of 1.5V, are presented. Both circuits are optimized for a 0.35 {\ensuremathμ}m standard CMOS technology using an equation-based design methodology based on genetic algorithms. Electrical simulations demonstrate that high noise amplitudes together with reasonable bandwidths can be achieved with relatively low power dissipation. Potential applications include self-calibration and on-chip self-testing of video-rate analogue-to-digital converters.
