چکیده
iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following people for their contributions to this work. a constant source of support throughout my time at Carnegie Mellon. This work would not have been possible without him. He was responsible for much of the digital circuit design and layout for the test chips and gathered the statistical data from the first comparator test chips.

Digital Calibration Incorporating Redundancy of Flash ADCs
As feature size and supply voltage shrink, digital calibration incorporating redundancy of flash analog-to-digital converters is becoming attractive. This new scheme allows accuracy to be achieved through the use of redundancy and reassignment, effectively decoupling analog performance from component matching. Very large comparator offsets (several LSBs) are tolerated, allowing the comparators ...
متن کاملAVR120: Characterization and Calibration of the ADC on an AVR
This application note explains various ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) characterization parameters given in the datasheets and how they effect ADC measurements. It also describes how to measure these parameters during application testing in production and how to perform run-time compensation for some of the measured deviations. A great advantage with the Flash memory of the Atmel AVR is that ...
متن کاملLow Power, 3-bit CMOS Pipeline ADC with Reduced Complexity Flash Architecture
A 3-bit, 2-V pipeline analog-to-digital converter has been designed using a modified flash architecture. The developed circuit blocks of the modified flash analog-todigital converter, operating at 135MHz, are a fully differential comparator, a digital-to-analog converter and a sample-and-hold amplifier. The design technique of the N-bit modified flash ADC requires only 2 1) comparators as compa...
متن کاملA sub-mW pulse-based 5-bit flash ADC with a time-domain fully-digital reference ladder
The concept of time-domain reference-ladder for the implementation of fully-digital flash-ADCs is proposed in this work. The complete reference ladder is implemented using only digital circuits. Based on this concept, a flash ADC is proposed and implemented in this work using digital circuits, one comparator and a customized sample-and-ramp circuit. An unconventional time-to-digital conversion ...
متن کاملBackground Calibration Techniques for Low-Power and High-Speed Data Conversion
Progress of roles and schemes of calibration techniques in data converters are reviewed. Correction techniques of matching error and nonlinearity in analog circuits have been developed by digital assist using high-density and low-power digital circuits. The roles of the calibration are not only to improve accuracy but also to reduce power dissipation and chip area. Among various calibration sch...
