“The CMOS Inverter” as a comparator in ADC designs

چکیده
-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.

متن کاملA New Approach to Design Low Power Cmos Flash A/d Converter
In the present paper, a 4-bit flash analog to digital converter for low power SoC application is presented. CMOS inverter has been used as a comparator and by adjusting the ratio of channel width and length, the switching threshold of the CMOS inverter is varied to detect the input analog signal. The simulation results show that this proposed 4-bit flash ADC consumes about 12.4 mW at 200M sampl...
متن کاملAn 11-Bit Single-Ended SAR ADC with an Inverter-Based Comparator for Design Automation
This paper proposes a low power single-ended successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to replace the only analog active circuit, the comparator, with a digital circuit, which is an inverter-based comparator. The replacement helps possible design automation. The inverter threshold voltage variation impact is minimal because an SAR ADC has only one comparator, and...
