A 3.3V 10BIT CURRENT-MODE FOLDING AND INTERPOLATING CMOS AJ D CONVERTER USING AN ARITHMETIC FUNCTIONALITY

A low power 10bit current-mode folding and interpolating CMOS analog to digital converter (ADC) with arithmetic folding blocks is presented in this paper. A current-mode two-level folding amplifier with a high folding rate (FR) is designed not only to prevent ADC from increasing a FR excessively, but also to perform a high resolution at a single power supply of 3.3V The proposed ADC is implemented by a 0.6${\mu}$m n-well CMOS single poly/double metal process. The simulation result shows a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ${\pm}$0.5LSB, an integral nonlinearity (INL) of ${\pm}$1.0LSB
