چکیده
This paper describes flash ADC design using linearity improved threshold quantized comparator. Here, the need for a reference voltage generation network has been eliminated in a 4 bit flash ADC; with completely digital cell based comparators. Output generated from comparator called thermometer code is related mathematically with binary conversion. This conversion property is used for mathematical modeling and complexity reduction of decoder circuitry by semi-parallel structuring of comparators. Circuit is designed in 250nm technology and it exhibits satisfactory performance even in temperature and process variation.

A Low-Power Reduced Kick-Back Comparator with Improved Calibration for High-Speed Flash ADCs
A novel low-power kick-back reduced comparator for use in high-speed flash analog-to-digital converters (ADC) is presented. The proposed comparator combines cascode transistors to reduce the kick-back noise with a built-in threshold voltage to remove the static power consumption of a reference. Without degrading other figures, the kick-back noise is reduced by a factor 8, compared to a previous...

This paper presents design and implementation of a 9-bit folding and interpolation ADC using 0.35 μm CMOS C35B4 model under AMS-HIT Kit Library. The complete system consists of two main blocks. One of them is 4-bit flash ADC, which is based on the so-called threshold inverter quantization (TIQ) technique. This part forms the coarse part of the data conversion process. The second one is the 5-bi...
متن کاملA Tiq Based Cmos Flash A/d Converter for System-on-chip Applications
The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is an essential part of system-on-chip (SoC) products because it bridges the gap between the analog physical world and the digital logical world. In the digital domain, low power and low voltage requirements are becoming more important issues as the channel length of MOSFET shrinks below 0.25 sub-micron values. Moreover, SoC trends force ADCs to be integrat...

-This paper introduces a single-ended non-offsetcancelled flash ADC architecture, the "Threshold Inverter Quantizer" (TIQ). The TIQ is based on a CMOS inverter cell, in which the voltage transfer characteristics (VTC) are changed by systematic transistor sizing. As a result, a significant improvement of speed and reduction of area and power consumption is achieved.
