To reduce power consumption while not lose performance, the amplifiers with the same structure are biased with one bias circuit, and a cascode compensation is adopted. A 10bit 50MS/s pipeline ADC, which can be used in CMOS image sensor systems with large pixel array,is designed and tested by using 0.35tzm 4M-2P CMOS process. According to test results, power consumption is only 42mW and SINAD is 45.69dB when sampling frequency is 50MHz. A balance between performance and power consumption is achieved.展开更多
