A 31.3fJ/conversion-step 70.4dB SNDR 30MS/s 1.2V two-step pipelined ADC in 0.13μm CMOS

Analog-to-digital conversion with a signal bandwidth of 10 to 20MHz and ENOB of 11 to 12b has become a common requirement in many modern wireless communication systems where low power consumption is always a necessity.

Zusammenfassung:Analog-to-digital conversion with a signal bandwidth of 10 to 20MHz and ENOB of 11 to 12b has become a common requirement in many modern wireless communication systems where low power consumption is always a necessity. Typically, the traditional 2-step pipelined ADC is not considered a good candidate to meet these design specifications, since it is implemented with a power-hungry high-resolution flash sub-ADC and high-gain residue amplifier. Recently, however, low-power SAR architectures have been proposed as efficient replacements for flash-based sub-ADCs [1], especially since the conversion rate may be improved with the use of asynchronous clocking [2].
