用于高速ADC的低抖动时钟稳定电路

介绍了一种用于高速ADC的低抖动时钟稳定电路.这个电路由延迟锁相环(DLL)来实现.这个DLL有两个功能:一是通过把一个时钟沿固定精确延迟半个周期,再与另一个沿组成一个新的时钟来调节时钟占空比到50%左右;二是调节时钟抖动.该电路采用0.35 μm CMOS工艺,在Cadence Spectre环境下进行仿真验证,对一个8 bit、250 Msps采样率的ADC,常温下得到的时钟抖动小于0.25 ps rms(典型的均方根).

流水线结构是高速高精度ADC的首选.通过对流水线ADC的结构、MDAC电路进行了研究;提出新型采样保持开关;设计了12位20 MS/s采样率流水线ADC,并基于SMIC0.35μm混合CMOS工艺进行流片实现,测试结果表明,在测试仪器只有10位精度的情况下SFDR=65 dB,SNDR=56 dB,SNR=56.9 dB,ENOB=9.1 bit,最后对测试结果进行分析.     

Reconfigurable radio receiver with fractional sample rate converter and multi-rate ADC based on LO-derived sampling clock

A composite radio receiver back-end and digital front-end, made up of a delta-sigma analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) with a high-speed low-noise sampling clock generator, and a fractional sample rate converter (FSRC), is proposed and designed for a multi-mode reconfigurable radio. The proposed radio receiver architecture contributes to saving the chip area and thus lowering the design cost. To enable inter-radio access technology handover and ultimately software-defined radio reception, a reconfigurable radio receiver consisting of a multi-rate ADC with its sampling clock derived from a local oscillator, followed by a rate-adjustable FSRC for decimation, is designed. Clock phase noise and timing jitter are examined to support the effectiveness of the proposed radio receiver. A FSRC is modelled and simulated with a cubic polynomial interpolator based on Lagrange method, and its spectral-domain view is examined in order to verify its effect on aliasing, nonlinearity and signal-to-noise ratio, giving insight into the design of the decimation chain. The sampling clock path and the radio receiver back-end data path are designed in a 90-nm CMOS process technology with 1.2V supply.
