An I/O-Sized ADC with Second-Order TDC and MOM Capacitor Voltage-to-Time Converter
We present an I/O-size second-order analog to digital converter (ADC) combined with a time-to-digital converter (TDC) and a voltage-to-time converter (VTC). Our proposed VTC is optimized for metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitances, and is charged to the MOM capacitances by an input voltage. In a standa...

Zusammenfassung: | We present an I/O-size second-order analog to digital converter (ADC) combined with a time-to-digital converter (TDC) and a voltage-to-time converter (VTC). Our proposed VTC is optimized for metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitances, and is charged to the MOM capacitances by an input voltage. In a standard 65-nm CMOS process, a signal to noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) of 50 dB (8 bits) is achievable at an input signal frequency of 78 kHz and a sampling rate of 20 MHz, where the respective area and power are 6468 mm2 and 509 μW. The measured maximum integral nonlinearity (INL) of the proposed ADC is -1.41 LSBs. The active area of the proposed ADC is smaller than an I/O buffer. The proposed ADC is useful as an ADC I/O. |
