چکیده
In this thesis, I describe a zero-crossing based pipelined ADC. Unlike traditional pipelined ADCs, this work does not use any op-amps in the signal path. The use of zero-crossing based circuits made it possible to achieve a much better figure of merit. The ADC is design to operate at 200MS/s with a resolution of 12 bits. The simulated results suggest that the target performance is achievable with less than 10 mW of power. This design's figure of merit is at least an order of magnitude better than any existing designs that have comparable speed and accuracy performance. The design will be fabricated later to be tested in silicon. Thesis Supervisor: Hae-Seung Lee Title: Professor of Electrical Engineering

متن کاملHigh performance zero-crossing based pipelined analog-to-digital converters
As CMOS processes continue to scale to smaller dimensions, the increased fT of the devices and smaller parasitic capacitance allow for more power efficient and faster digital circuits to be made. But at the same time, output impedance of transistors has gone down, as have the power supply voltages, and leakage currents have increased. These changes in the technology have made analog design more...
متن کاملHigh-accuracy Pipelined A/D Converter Based on Zero-crossing Switched Capacitor Circuits
Technology scaling poses challenges in designing analog circuits because of the decrease in intrinsic gain and reduced swing. An alternative to using highgain amplifiers in the implementation of switchedcapacitor circuits has been proposed [1] that replaces the amplifier with a current source and a comparator. The new comparatorbased switchedcapacitor (CBSC) technique has been implemented in tw...
