平均电阻网路的引入会给预放大器带来增益、延时误差、边界效应等问题。通过从中间向两边依次增加预放大器输入对管的尺寸,减小整体误差。通过改变环形平均电阻的边界阻值和边缘放大器的输入参考电压,减小边界效应,并且使用的边缘放大器数目较少。采用TSMC 0.18 μm标准CMOS工艺,在1.8 V电源电压下,对加入平均电阻网络的ADC的输出进行仿真,得到INL为1.01 LSB、DNL为0.573 LSB。对改变输入对管尺寸的ADC整体电路进行DFT分析,得到ENOB为11.14 bit、SFDR为76.3 dB、THD为-78 dB。采用减小边界效应的方法,对边界预放大器进行蒙特卡洛仿真,结果表明,失调电压方差从2.193 mV减小到0.456 mV。 相似文献

This paper presents the design of a coarse-fine time-to-digital converter (TDC) that amplifies a time residue to improve time resolution, similar to a coarse-fine analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A new digital circuit has been developed to amplify the time residue with a higher gain (>16) and larger range (>80 ps) than existing solutions do. However, adapting the conventional coarse-fine architecture from ADCs is not an appropriate solution for TDCs: input time cannot be stored, and the gain of a time amplifier (TA) cannot be controlled precisely. This paper proposes a new coarse-fine TDC architecture by using an array of time amplifiers and two identical fine TDCs that compensate for the variation of the TA gain during the conversion process. The measured DNL and INL are plusmn0.8 LSB and plusmn3 LSB, respectively, with a value of 1.25 ps per 1 LSB, while the standard deviation of output code for constant inputs remains below 1 LSB across the TDC range. Although the nonlinearity is larger than 1 LSB, using an INL lookup table or better matched delays in the coarse TDC delay chain will improve the linearity further. 相似文献

An integrated CMOS subnanosecond time-to-digital converter (TDC) has been developed and evaluated for positron emission tomography (PET) front-end applications. The TDC architecture combines an accurate digital counter and an analog time interpolation circuit to make the time interval measurement. The dynamic range of the TDC is programmable and can be easily extended without any timing resolution degradation. The converter was designed to operate over a reference clock frequency range of 62.5 MHz up to 100 MHz and can have a bin size as small as 312.5 ps LSB with 100-ns conversion times. Measurements indicate the TDC achieves a DNL of under /spl plusmn/0.20 LSB and INL less than /spl plusmn/0.30 LSB with an rms timing resolution of 0.312 LSB (97.5 ps), very close to the theoretical limit of 0.289 LSB (90 ps). The design is believed to be the first fully integrated CMOS subnanosecond TDC used in PET medical imaging and the first realization of a CMOS TDC that achieves an rms timing resolution below 100 ps within a 100-ns conversion time. 相似文献

A four-input beam-forming downconverter for adaptive antennas is described. It consists of 2-bit variable gain amplifiers (VGAs), 5-bit local oscillator (LO) signal phase shifters using double RC-bridge circuits, and mixers. The VGAs adjust gain deviation between signal paths. A differential-signal-to-eight-phase-signal converter is employed as a part of the LO phase shifter to reduce the chip size. A maximum phase error of 4.1/spl deg/, which is less than 1/2 LSB, is achieved. This error value indicates that the required phase shifter accuracy and the necessary isolation between the VGAs has been achieved. This beam-forming IC is applicable to receivers with adaptive antennas, and is expected to help to reduce the costs of adaptive antenna systems. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel Time-to-digital converter (TDC) for All Digital Phase Locked Loop (ADPLL) able to reach high linearity and wide input range with normalized fractional output code. The topology is based on startable Pseudo differential delay cells. It arbiters in a gated ring oscillator (GRO) format in manner to extend measurement time interval. A normalization unit is developed to free calibrate output and to measure phase errors for divider-less ADPLL applications. The proposed TDC is designed in 90 nm CMOS process. Simulation results show that the TDC achieves a large detectable conversion range that extends between 0.285 and 10 ns. The attained time resolution is 9.4 ps, which corresponds to half the delay time of an inverter. The TDC is self-calibrating with estimated accuracy better than 0.28%. The structure consumes 6.6 mA current from a 1.0 V voltage supply, when operating at a clock frequency of 13 MSPS. The estimated differential nonlinearity and integral nonlinearity are ±0.48 LSB and ±0.6 LSB respectively. Compared to previously reported TDC, this implementation achieves a competitive FoMP without requiring complicate calibration. 相似文献

In this paper, a fast-lock mixed-mode delay-locked loop (MMDLL) is presented. The digital part of the MMDLL utilizes a 2-b SAR algorithm to achieve short lock time compared to the conventional RDLL, CDLL, and SARDLL, while the analog part helps to reduce the residue phase error introduced by the digital part and improve the output jitter performance. The measured RMS and peak-to-peak jitters and the static phase error are 6.6, 47, and 12.4 ps, respectively, for a 100-MHz input clock. The power consumption is 15.8 mW in the locked state at a 2.7-V supply voltage. The maximum lock time is 13.5 clock cycles (135 ns) when the residue phase error is within 1 LSB (156 ps) 相似文献

A time to charge converter IC with an analog memory unit (TCCAMU) has been designed and fabricated in HP's CMOS 1.2-μm n-well process. The TCCAMU is an event driven system designed for front end data acquisition in high energy physics experiments. The chip includes a time to charge converter, analog Level 1 and Level 2 associative memories for input pipelining and data filtering, and an A/D converter. The intervals measured and digitized range from 8-24 ns. Testing of the fabricated chip resulted in an LSB width of 107 ps, a typical differential nonlinearity of <35 ps, and a typical integral nonlinearity of <200 ps. The average power dissipation is 8.28 mW per channel. By counting the reference clock, a time resolution of 107 ps over ~1 s range could be realized 相似文献

An optical true time-delay (TTD) scheme for two-dimensional (2-D) X-band phased array antennas (PAAs) has been proposed. It is composed of a multiwavelength optical source and a delay line matrix consisting of 2times2 optical microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switches with fiber-optic delay lines connected between cross ports. A 2-bit times 4-bit optical TTD for 10-GHz 2-D PAAs has been implemented by cascading a wavelength-dependent TTD (WD-TTD) with a unit time delay of 12 ps in the x-direction and a wavelength-independent TTD (WI-TTD) with that of 6 ps in the y-direction. The time delay error for WD-TTD was measured to be less than 2.8 ps, mainly due to jitter incurred from gain-switching. On the other hand, the error for WI-TTD was less than 0.8 ps, which is within the equipment resolution. Insertion loss of both delay line matrices was less than 1 dB due to the column-wise control of the MEMS switches. This prevents the feed current applied to each antenna element from fluctuating at any radiation angles so that antenna gain and sidelobe level do not deteriorate in this scheme 相似文献
