A 39.4-mW 300 MHz-BW 70.9 dB-SNDR Hybrid ADC With Resistive Input and 200 fs, rms-Jitter Tolerance 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a power-efficient hybrid ADC architecture: a low-resolution continuous-time (CT) delta-sigma modulator (DSM) followed by a time-interleaved pipeline stage which further quantizes the quantization noise of the DSM. In the frontend CT DSM, the resistive input makes the ADC easy-to-drive, and the direct-charge-dump feedback (DCD FB) provides a …

An 11.95-ENOB 560-MS/s Amplifier-Switching Subranging Analog-to-Digital Converter With Multi-Threshold Comparators

An 11.95-ENOB 560-MS/s Amplifier-Switching Subranging Analog-to-Digital Converter With Multi-Threshold Comparators 150 150

Abstract:

This article proposes a 14-bit, 560-MS/s subranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that employs an amplifier-switching architecture with multi-threshold comparators. The proposed amplifier-switching architecture reuses a flash quantizer multiple times during subranging conversion by amplifying the residue voltage with an appropriate gain at each quantization step. This approach reduces the required …
