A digitally controlled phase-locked loop (DCPLL) is described. The DCPLL has basically the same structure as a conventional analog PLL except for a tracking analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The tracking ADC generates the control signal for voltage controlled oscillator. Since the DCPLL employs neither digitally controlled oscillator nor time-to-digital converter-the key building blocks of digital PLL (DPLL), there is no need for the 03de-off between jitter, power consumption and silicon area. The DCPLL was implemented in a $0.18\mu$m CMOS process and the active area is 1mm $\times$0.35 mm The DCPLL consumes S9mW during the normal opuation and $984\{mu}W$ during the power-down mode from a 1.8V supply. The DCPLL shows 16.8ps ms jitter.

A new ripple analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has been developed. It consists of two parallel ADCs and a switching network. The circuit operates on the analog input signal in two serial steps. First, a coarse conversion is made to determine the most significant bits by the first parallel ADC. The resultant bits control the switching network to connect a series resistor segment, within which the analog signal is contained, to the second parallel ADC. At second step, a fine conversion is made to determine the least significant bits by the second parallel ADC. The circuit requires 2(2\ulcorner\ulcorner1) comparators, 2(2\ulcorner\ulcorner resistors, and 2(2\ulcorner\ulcorner swithches for N-bit resolution.

In this paper, The High-speed Low-power Analog-to-Digital Convener Archecture is proposed using the parallel S/H for High-speed operation. This technique can significantly reduce the sampling frequency per S/H channel. The Analog-to-Digital Converter is designed using 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology. The simulation result show that the proposed Analog-to-Digital Converter can be operated at 40Ms/s with 8-bit resolution and INL/DNL errors are +0.4LSB~-0.6LSB / +0.9LSB~-1.4LSB , respectively.

In this paper, the 10bit 20MHz pipelined analog-to-digital converter that is able to apply to WLAN system was modeled for ADC design. Each blocks in converter such as sample and hold amplifier(SHA), comparator, multiplyng DAC(MDAC), and digital correction logic(DCL) was modeled. The pipelined ADC with these modeled blocks takes 1/50 less time than the one of simulation using HSPICE.

In this paper, a 9-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is designed for optical disk drive (ODD) servo applications. In the ADC, the circuit technique to increase the operating range of the sample-and-hold amplifier is proposed, which can process the wide-varying input common-mode range. The algorithmic ADC structure is chosen so that the area can be significantly reduced, which is suitable for SoC integration. The ADC is fabricated in a 0.18-$\mu\textrm{m} $ CMOS 1P5M technology. Measurement results of the ADC show that SNDR is 51.5dB for the sampling rate of 6.5MS/s. The power dissipation is 36.3mW for a single supply voltage of 3.3V.

This paper presents hardware implementation of background timing-skew calibration technique for time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI ADCs). The timing skew between any two adjacent analog-digital (A/D) channels is detected by using pure digital Finite Impulse Response (FIR) delay filter. This paper includes hardware architecture of the system, main units and small sub-blocks along with control logic circuits. Moreover, timing diagrams of logic simulations using ModelSim are provided and discussed for further understanding about simulations. Simulation process in MATLAB and Verilog is also included and provided with basic settings need to be done. For hardware implementation it not practical to work with all samples. Hence, the simulation is conducted on 512 TI ADC output samples which are stored in the buffer simultaneously and the correction arithmetic is done on those samples according to the time skew algorithm. Through the simulated results, we verified the implemented hardware is working well.

A 10-bit 10MS/s low power consumption successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using a straightforward capacitive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is presented in this paper. In the proposed capacitive DAC, switching is always straightforward, and its value is half of the peak-to-peak voltage in each step. Also the most significant bit (MSB) is decided without any switching power consumption. The application of the straightforward switching causes lower power consumption in the structure. The input is sampled at the bottom plate of the capacitor digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) as it provides better linearity and a higher effective number of bits. The comparator applies adaptive power control, which reduces the overall power consumption. The differential prototype SAR ADC was implemented with $0.18{\mu}m$ complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology and achieves an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 9.49 at a sampling frequency of 10MS/s. The structure consumes 0.522mW from a 1.8V supply. Signal to noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) and spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) are 59.5 dB and 67.1 dB and the figure of merit (FOM) is 95 fJ/conversion-step.

This paper presents a low-power 0.6-V 10-bit 200-kS/s double rail-to-rail successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The proposed scheme allows input signal with 4 times power which is compared with conventional one by applying proposed rail-to-rail scheme, and that improves signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of NTV SAR ADCs. The prototype was designed using 65-nm CMOS technology. At a 0.6-V supply and $2.4-V_{pp}$ (differential) and 200-kS/s, the ADC achieves an SNDR of 59.87 dB and consumes 364.5-nW. The ADC core occupies an active area of only $84{\times}100{\mu}m^2$.

SoC에서 칩 내부의 온도를 측정하기 위한 proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) 회로와 sensing 된 아날로그 신호를 디지털로 변환하기 위해 4-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC)로 구성된 temperature sensor를 제안한다. CMOS 공정에서 vertical PNP 구조를 이용하여 PTAT 회로가 설계되었다. 온도변화에 둔감한 ADC를 구현하기 위해 아날로그 회로를 최소로 사용하는 successive approximation (SA) ADC가 이용되었다. 4-bit SA ADC는 capacitor DAC와 time-domain 비교기를 이용함으로 전력소모를 최소화하였다. 제안된 temperature sensor는 2.5V $0.25{\mu}m$ 1-poly 9-metal CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계되었고, $50{\sim}150^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서 동작한다. Temperature sensor의 면적과 전력 소모는 각각 $130{\times}390\;um^2$과 868 uW이다.
