This paper describes an 8-bit CMOS folding A/D converter for set-top box. Modular low-power, high-speed CMOS A/D converter for embedded systems aims at design techniques for low-power, high-speed A/D converter processed by the standard CMOS technology. The time-interleaved A/D converter or flash A/D converter are not suitable for the low-power applications. The two-step or multi-step flash A/D converters need a high-speed SHA, which represents a tough task in high-speed analog circuit design. On the other hand, the folding A/D converter is suitable for the low-power, high-speed applications(Embedded system). The simulation results illustrate a conversion rate of 40MSamples/s and a Power dissipation of 80mW(only analog block) at 2.5V supply voltage.

This paper describes a High-Speed 8-bit Current-Mode BiCMOS A/D Converter. The characteristics of this A/D Converter are as fellows. First, as ADC is operating in current-mode we can obtain the properties of increase of converting speed, low noise, and wideband. Second, the properties of high switching speed in bipolar transistor and of high packing density, low power consumption in MOS trnsistor are combined. Finally we reduce chip area by designing it with subranging mode and improve the converting speed by performing subtraction directly, which doesn't need D/A convertings, using current switching element. This converter is composed of two 4-bit ADC, current soure array which provides signal and reference current, current comparator and encoding network.

In a high-speed flash style or a pipelining style analog-to-digital converter (A/D converter), the DC reference fluctuation caused by external noises becomes serious, as the sampling frequency is increased. To reduce the fluctuations in conventional A/D converters, capacitors have been simply used, but the layout area was large. Instead of capacitors, a low-noise and small-size DC reference circuit based on transmission gate (TG) is proposed in this paper. In order to verify the proposed technique, we designed and manufactured a 6-bit 2GSPS CMOS A/D converter. The A/D converter is designed with a 0.18um 1-poly 6-metal n-well CMOS technology, and it consumes 145mW at 1.8V power supply. It occupies the chip area of 977um by 1040um. The measured result shows that SNDR is 36.25 dB and INL/DNL is within 0.5LSB, even though the DC reference fluctuation is serious.

In this paper, a low power and high speed flash Analog-to-Digital Converter using current-mode concept is proposed. Current-mode approach offers a number of advantages over conventional voltage-mode approach, such as lower power consumption small chip area improved accuracy etc. Rescently this concept was applied to algorithmic A/D Converter. But, its conversion speed is limited to medium speed. Consequently this converter is not applicable to the high speed signal processing system. This ADC is fabricated in 1.2um double metal CMOS standard process. This ADC's conversion time is measured to be 7MHz, and power consumption is 2.0mW, and differential nonlinearity is less than 1.14LSB and total harmonic distortion is -50dB. The active area of analog chip is about 350 x 550u$m^2$. The proposed ADC seems suitable for a single chip design of digital signal processing system required high conversion speed, high resolution small chip area and low power consumption.

In this paper, an 8bit CMOS low power, high-speed current-mode folding and interpolation A/D converter is designed with te LG semicon $0.8\mu\textrm{m}$ N-well single-poly/double-metal CMOS process to be integrated into a portable image signal processing system such as a digital camcoder. For good linearity and low power consumption, folding amplifiers and for high speed performance of the A/D converter, analog circuitries including folding block, current-mode interpolation circuit and current comparator are designed as a differential-mode. The fabricated 8 bit A/D converter occupies the active chip area of TEX>$2.2mm \times 1.6mm$ and shows DNL of $\pm0.2LSB$, INL of <$\pm0.5LSB$, conversion rate of 40M samples/s, and the measured maximum power dissipation of 33.6mW at single +5V supply voltage.

본 논문에서는 고속으로 아날로그 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환하기 위한 Flash A/D 변환기를 설계하였다. 해상도는 6-Bit로 설계하였으며, Flash A/D 변환기의 단점인 전력손실과 칩의 면적을 줄이기 위하여 CMOS 트랜지스터의 원리인 Threshold Inverter Quantization(TIQ) 구조를 이용하였다. TIQ로 동작시키기 위한 CMOS 트랜지스터 크기는 HSPICE의 반복적인 시뮬레이션 결과로 결정하였다. Flash A/D 변환기의 변환속도를 낮추는 Encoder 부분은 ROM이나 PLA 구조를 이용하지 않고 속도와 소비전력에서 우수하지만 설계과정이 복잡한 Fat Tree Encoder를 사용하였다. 제조공정은 Magna 0.18um CMOS에 Full Custom 방식으로 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 1.8 V 전원전압에 최대소비전력은 38.43 mW이며 동작속도는 2.7 GSPS를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, the pipelined A/D converter with multi S/H stage structure is proposed for high resolution and high-speed data conversion rate. In order to improve a resolution and operational speed, the proposed structure increased the sampling time that is sampled input signal. In order to verify the operation characteristics, 20MS/s pipelined A/D converter is designed with two S/H stage.

Also, the designed Analog-to-Digital converter has the SNR of 43dB and power consumption is 18.5mW.
