A 1.8-V 22-mW 10-bit 30-MS/s Pipelined CMOS ADC for Low-Power Subsampling Applications

This paper describes a 10-bit 30-MS/s subsampling pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that is implemented in a 0.18 mum CMOS process. The ADC adopts a power efficient amplifier sharing architecture in which additional switches are introduced to reduce the crosstalk between the two opamp-sharing successive stages. A new configuration is used in the first stage of the ADC to avoid using a dedicated sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) circuit at the input and to avoid the matching requirement between the first multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) and flash input signal paths. A symmetrical gate-bootstrapping switch is used as the bottom-sampling switch in the first stage to enhance the sampling linearity. The measured differential and integral nonlinearities of the prototype are less than 0.57 least significant bit (LSB) and 0.8 LSB, respectively, at full sampling rate. The ADC exhibits higher than 9.1 effective number of bits (ENOB) for input frequencies up to 30 MHz, which is the twofold Nyquist rate (fs/2), at 30 MS/s. The ADC consumes 21.6 mW from a 1.8-V power supply and occupies 0.7 mm², which also includes the bandgap and buffer amplifiers. The figure-of-merit (FOM) of this ADC is 0.26 pJ/step.     

A 14-bit 125 MS/s IF/RF Sampling Pipelined ADC With 100 dB SFDR and 50 fs Jitter

This paper describes a 14-bit, 125 MS/s IF/RF sampling pipelined A/D converter (ADC) that is implemented in a 0.35$muhbox m$BiCMOS process. The ADC has a sample-and-hold circuit that is integrated in the first pipeline stage, which removes the need for a dedicated sample-and-hold amplifier (i.e., “SHA-less”). It also has a sampling buffer that is turned off during the hold clock phases to save power. To accurately estimate and minimize the clock jitter, a new jitter simulation technique was used whose results were verified on silicon. The measured silicon results indicate the highest published IF sampling performance to date and prove the viability of the “SHA-less” architecture for IF/RF sampling ADCs. The ADC is calibration-free and achieves a DNL of less than 0.2 LSB and INL of 0.8 LSB. The SNR is 75 dB below Nyquist, and stays above 71 dB up to 500 MHz. The low-frequency SFDR is about 100 dB, and stays above 90 dB up to about 300 MHz. This is also the first ADC to achieve 14-bit level performance for input signal frequencies up to 500 MHz and to have a total RMS jitter of only 50 fs.

The SNDR and the SFDR are 55.3 dB and 71.5 dB, respectively, and the power consumption is 33 mW

A 13-bit, 8 MSample/s pipeline A/D converter

A 13-bit 8 MSample/s high-accuracy CMOS pipeline ADC is proposed. At the input, the sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is removed for low power and low noise; meanwhile, an improved sampling circuit is adopted to alleviate the clock skew effect. On-chip bias current is programmable to achieve low power dissipation at different sampling rates. Particularly, drain-to-source voltages in the operational amplifiers (opamps) are fixed to ensure high DC gain within the variant range of the bias current. Both on-chip and off-chip decoupling capacitors are used in the voltage reference circuit in consideration of low power and stability. The proposed ADC was implemented in 0.18-μm IP6M CMOS technology. With a 2.4-MHz input, the measured peak SNDR and SFDR are 74.4 and 91.6 dB at 2.5 MSample/s, 74.3 and 85.4 dB at 8.0 MSample/s. It consumes 8.1, 21.6, 29.7, and 56.7 mW (including I/O drivers) when operating at 1.5, 2.5, 5.0, and 8.0 MSample/s with 2.7 V power supply, respectively.

A 0.5-V 8-bit 10-Ms/s Pipelined ADC in 90-nm CMOS

This paper presents a pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from a 0.5-V supply voltage. The ADC uses true low-voltage design techniques that do not require any on-chip supply or clock voltage boosting. The switch OFF leakage in the sampling circuit is suppressed using a cascaded sampling technique. A front-end signal-path sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) is avoided by using a coarse auxiliary sample and hold (S/H) for the sub-ADC and by synchronizing the sub-ADC and pipeline-stage sampling circuit. A 0.5-V operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is presented that provides inter-stage amplification with an 8-bit performance for the pipelined ADC operating at 10 Ms/s. The chip was fabricated on a standard 90 nm CMOS technology and measures 1.2 mm times 1.2 mm. The prototype chip has eight identical stages and stage scaling was not used. It consumes 2.4 mW for 10-Ms/s operation. Measured peak SNDR is 48.1 dB and peak SFDR is 57.2 dB for a full-scale sinusoidal input. Maximal integral nonlinearity and differential nonlinearity are 1.19 and 0.55 LSB, respectively.

By sharing an amplifier between two successive pipeline stages, a 10-bit pipeline is realized using just four amplifiers with a separate sample-and-hold block. The proposed feedback signal polarity inverting (FSPI) technique addresses the drawback of the conventional amplifier sharing technique. A wide-swing wide-bandwidth telescopic amplifier and an early comparison technique with a constant delay circuit have been developed to further reduce power consumption. The ADC is implemented in a 0.18-/spl mu/m dual-gate-oxidation CMOS process technology, achieves 72.8-dBc spurious free dynamic range, 57.92-dBc signal-to-noise ratio, 9.29 effective number of bits (ENOB) for a 99-MHz input at full sampling rate, and consumes 69 mW from a 3-V supply.
