In addition to elaborate matching of the sampling network in the first stage,a background offset cancellation circuit is proposed in this paper to suppress the offset of the comparators in the first-stage sub-ADC, which ensures the overall offset does not exceed the correction range of the built-in redundant structure. Fabricated in a 0.18- m CMOS technology, the presented ADC occupies a chip area of 12 mm2, and consumes 237 mW from a 1.8-V power supply. Measurement results with a 30.1-MHz input sine wave under a sampling rate of 100 MS/s show that the ADC achieves a 71-d B signal-to-noise and distortion ratio（SNDR）,an 85.4-d B spurious-free dynamic range（SFDR）, a maximum differential nonlinearity（DNL） of 0.22 LSB and a maximum integral nonlinearity（INL） of 1.4 LSB.展开更多

Based on the analysis and optimization between delay time and offset, an enhanced reset architecture with transmission gate was introduced to speed up the comparison and reset procedure. Four inputs with two cross coupled differential pairs, reconstituted bias circuit for tail current transistor and common centroid layouts make the comparator more robust against mismatch and process variations. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed design achieves 1 mV sensitivity at 2.2 GHz sampling rate with a power consumption of 510 μW, while the mean offset voltage is equal to 10.244 mV.展开更多

The proposed ADC uses SHA-less, op-amp and capacitor-sharing technique, capacitor-scaling scheme to reduce the die area and power consumption. A new capacitor-sharing scheme was proposed to cancel the extra reset phase of the feedback capacitors. The non-standard inter-stage gain increases the feedback factor of the first stage and makes it equal to the second stage, by which, the load capacitor of op-amp shared by the first and second stages is balanced. As for the fourth stage, the capacitor and op-amp no longer scale down. From the system＇s point of view, all load capacitors of the shared OTAs are balanced by employing a loadingbalanced architecture. The die area and power consumption are optimized maximally. The ADC is implemented in a 0.18 μm 1P6M CMOS technology, and occupies a die area of 1.2×1.2 mm^2. The measurement results show a 55.58 dB signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio（SNDR） and 62.97 dB spurious-free dynamic range（SFDR） with a 25 MHz input operating at a 200 MS/s sampling rate. The proposed ADC consumes 115 m W at 200 MS/s from a 1.8 V supply.展开更多
