چکیده
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) based ADC is unlike other ADCs. Input analog signal is converted into timing information via VCO then quantized in time. This paper demonstrates the multi bit VCO based quantizer using Frequency to Digital converter (FDC). Simulation result achieve in terms of SNR, SNDR and power dissipation. VCO based quantizer design using Cadence Virtuoso in GPDK 90nm technology.

A Multi-bit VCO-based Linear Quantizer with Frequency- to-current Feedback using a Switched-capacitor Structure
In this letter, we present a new linearization method for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)-based quantizer in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The nonlinearity of the VCO generates unwanted harmonic spurs and reduces the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) of the VCO-based quantizer. This letter suggests a frequency-to-current feedback method to effectively suppress harmonic d...

This paper explores a continuous time (CT) sigma delta ( ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on a dual-voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)-quantizer-loop structure. A thirdorder ̄lter is adopted to reduce quantization noise and VCO nonlinearity. Even-order harmonics of VCO are signi ̄cantly reduced by the proposed dual-VCO-quantizer-loop structure. The prototype with 10MHz bandwidth and 400...

In this paper, we present analysis on the operation and architecture of the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)based ADC is presented. The VCO-based quantizer is analyzed for two different architectures, one using a frequency-todigital converter (FDC) the other a time-to-digital converter (TDC). The advantages of quantizing the first-stage residue in time domain versus with a voltage domain are...
متن کاملAn all-digital PWM-based ΔΣ ADC with an inherently matched multi-bit quantizer
An all-digital PWM-based delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADC is proposed. This system takes advantages of the duration of a pulse, rather than voltage or current, as the analog operand used in its closed-loop operation. Unlike VCO-based ADCs, this ADC as a linear input sampling stage with adequate uncalibrated performance. Furthermore, the architecture allows inherently matched multi-bit quantizer/DAC blocks ...
