This paper describes 9-bit, 200MS/s Pipeline analog to digital converter implemented in 0.18μm CMOS process consuming 48.97mW power from 1.8v supply. To improve the linearity of pipeline ADC is designed which has three stages, 3-bit/stage architecture. Operational transcconductance amplifier is adopted in all pipeline stage to give good power efficiency. The converter is optimized for low volta...

Editorial delay, the time between submission and acceptance of scientific manuscripts, was investigated for a set of 4,540 papers published in 13 leading food research journals. Groups of accelerated papers were defined as those that fell in the lower quartile of the distribution of the editorial delay for the journals investigated. Delayed papers are those in the upper quartile of the distribu...

The paper describes several interfacing techniques explored and experimented by the author, in the development process of a visual inspection module. The advantage of using DSPs is the high computational speed, allowing simple interfacing techniques to Flash ADCs. This speed has open the opportunity to implement all tasks involved in acquisition of one image frame (sync detection, data transfer...

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are key design blocks in modern microelectronic digital communication systems. An analog?to?digital converter (ADC) acts as a bridge between the analog and digital worlds. It is a necessary component whenever data from the analog domain, through sensors or transducers, should be digitally processed or when transmitting data between chips through either long-r...

A multibit analog-to-digital converter can achieve high resolution with a lower order modulator and lower oversampling ratio than a single-bit design, but it requires a multibit internal flash analog-to-digital converter rather than a simple comparator. In an implementation with a fully differential analog front end, the flash analog-to-digital converter must quantize a differential voltage rel...
