A 12b 180MS/s Pipelined-SAR ADC with a Low-Power Calibration-Free RA and Hardware-Efficient SAR Logic

A 12b 180MS/s Pipelined-SAR ADC with a Low-Power Calibration-Free RA and Hardware-Efficient SAR Logic 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 12-bit 180-MS/s pipelined-SAR ADC in 65-nm CMOS. To eliminate the complex interstage gain-error calibration for fast-response characteristic, a high-gain residue amplifier (RA) featuring a 2-stage gain-boosting architecture is proposed. By removing the tail current, the RA significantly alleviates slew-rate and voltage headroom limitations. The pre-amplifier …

A Calibration-Free Pipelined-SAR ADC With Cross-Stage Gain-Mismatch Error Shaping and Inherent Noise Shaping

A Calibration-Free Pipelined-SAR ADC With Cross-Stage Gain-Mismatch Error Shaping and Inherent Noise Shaping 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a calibration-free pipelined-successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on the proposed cross-stage gain-mismatch-error shaping (CS-GMES) mechanism. The CS-GMES is realized by including the entire 2nd stage into MES operation to unify the gain error and the 2nd-stage mismatch error. A feedback capacitor provides cross-stage connection and mismatch …

A Wideband Calibration-Free D-Band Passive Phase Shifter With Frequency-Invariant Codes Over 24% Fractional Bandwidth

A Wideband Calibration-Free D-Band Passive Phase Shifter With Frequency-Invariant Codes Over 24% Fractional Bandwidth 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a compact 110–140 GHz bidirectional D-band passive phase shifter based on combining a 5-stage capacitively-loaded reflective-type PS (RTPS) with a wideband 0°/180° stage. The design achieves a 360° phase range with a resolution of 11.25°. By applying: 1) a wideband RTPS design methodology on the stage level; 2) frequency/switching-staggering techniques among the …
