Range scaling enables a maximal 2-Vp-p input with a single-stage opamp adopted. Opamp and capacitor sharing between the first multi- plying digital-to-analog converter （MDAC） and the second one reduces the total opamp power further. The dedicated sample-and- hold amplifier （SHA） is removed to lower the power and the noise. The blind calibration of linearity errors is proposed to improve the per- formance. The prototype ADC is fabricated in a 130rim CMOS process with a 1.3-V supply voltage. The SNDR of the ADC is 71.3 dB with a 2.4 MHz input and remains 68.5 dB for a 120 MHz input. It consumes 85 roW, which includes 57 mW for the ADC core, 11 mW for the low jitter clock receiver and 17 mW for the high-speed reference buffer.展开更多

It is implemented in CSMC 0.5μm CMOS technology. Under a supply voltage of 3.3V, it has a power consumption of 198mW. The core of the circuit is composed of 6 cascaded amplifiers that are in a conventional structure of differential pairs,an output buffer, and a DC offset cancellation feedback loop. The small signal gain can be adjusted from 74 to 44dB by an off-chip resistor. The chip was packaged before being tested. The experimental results indicate that the circuit has an input dynamic range of 54dB and provides a single-ended output swing of 950mV. Its output eye diagram remains satisfactory when the pseudo-random bit sequence （PRBS） input speed reaches 400Mbps.展开更多
