Among them, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is one of the key components to convert analog signals to digital signals. As a common type of ADC, 12-bit sequential approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) has attracted extensive attention for its performance and application. This paper aims to conduct in-depth research and analysis of 12-bit SAR ADC to meet the growing demands of digital signal processing. This article designs a 12-bit, successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with a sampling rate of 5 MS/s. The overall circuit adopts a fully differential structure, with key modules including DAC capacitor array, comparator, and control logic. According to the DAC circuit in this paper, a fully differential capacitor DAC array structure is proposed to reduce the area of layout DAC. The comparator uses a digital dynamic comparator to improve the ADC conversion speed. The chip is designed based on the SMIC180 nm CMOS process. The simulation results show that when the sampling rate is 5 MS/s, the effective bit of SAR ADC is 11.92 bit, the SNR is 74.62 dB, and the SFDR is 89.24 dB.展开更多

The 10 bit ADC is simulated in 0.13 μm CMOS process technology. The signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) is 54.41 dB at a 10 MHz input with a 50 MS/s sampling rate, and the power is 330 μW.展开更多

Gamma ray and 10-MeV proton irradiation are selected for a detailed evaluation and comparison. Based on the measurement results induced by the gamma ray with various dose rates, the devices exhibit enhanced low dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) under zero and working bias conditions. Meanwhile, it is obvious that the ELDRS is more severe under the working bias condition than under the zero bias condition. The degradation of AD9058 does not display obvious ELDRS during 10-MeV proton irradiation with the selected flux.展开更多

The technique is implemented in SAR ADC which is based on tri-level switching. The termination capacitor in the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is regarded as a reference capacitor and the digital weights of all other unit capacitors are corrected with respect to the reference capacitor. To make a comparison between the size of the unit capacitor and that of the reference capacitor, each input sample is quantized twice. The unit capacitor being calibrated is swapped with the reference capacitor during the second conversion. The difference between the two conversion results is used to correct the digital weight of the unit capacitor under calibration. The calibration technique with two reference capacitors is presented to reduce the number of parameters to be estimated. Behavior simulation is performed to verify the proposed calibration technique by using a 12-bit SAR ADC with 3% random capacitor mismatch. The simulation results show that the Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SNDR) is improved from 57.2 dB to 72.2 dB and the Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) is improved from 60.0 dB to 85.4 dB.展开更多

This study aims at solving the problem whereby the precision of CD pipelined ADCs is restricted by the variation in input CM charge, which can compensate for CM charge errors caused by a variation in CM charge input in real time. Based on the feed-forward CM charge control circuit, a 12-bit 250-MS/s CD pipelined ADC is designed and realized using a 1P6M 0.18-μm CMOS process.

The variation in signal-to-noise ratio was less than 3 dB over a 0-1.2 V input CM voltage range. The power consumption of the prototype ADC is only 85 mW at 1.8 V supply, and it occupies an active die area of 2.24 mm^2.展开更多

The PADC system is seeded by a high-speed actively mode locked laser, and the sampling rate is multiplied via a time-wavelength interleaving scheme.

A novel CMOS bootstrapping switch, which offers a constant on-resistance over the entire input signal range, is used at the sample-and-hold front-end to enhance the dynamic performance of the pipelined ADC. By implementing with 2.5-bit-per-stage and a simplified amplifier sharing architecture between two successive pipeline stages, a very competitive power consumption and small die area can be achieved. Meanwhile, the substrate-biasing-effect attenuated T-type switches are introduced to reduce the crosstalk between the two op- amp sharing successive stages. Moreover, a two-stage gain boosted recycling folded cascode (RFC) amplifier with hybrid frequency compensation is developed to further reduce the power consumption and maintain the ADC's performance simultaneously. The measured results imply that the ADC achieves a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 75.7 dB and a signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) of 62.74 dB with a 4.3 MHz input signal; the SNDR maintains over 58.25 dB for input signals up to 19.3MHz. The measured differential nonlinearity (DNL) and integral nonlinearity (INL) are -0.43 to +0.48 LSB and -1.62 to + 1.89 LSB respectively. The prototype ADC consumes 28.4 mW under a 1.2-V nominal power supply and 40 MHz sampling rate, transferring to a figure- of-merit (FOM) of 0.63 pJ per conversion-step.展开更多

文摘We investigate a channel-interleaved photonic analog-to-digital conversion(PADC)system’s ability to work stably over a long duration with an optimal driving voltage.The influence of optimum bias point drift of a Mach–Zehnder modulator(MZM)-based photonic switch on this system was analyzed theoretically and experimentally.The feasibility of extracting feedback signals from the PADC system was derived.A high-stability channel-interleaved PADC was constructed by extracting a feedback signal from a parallel demultiplexing module to control the MZM-based photonic switch’s driving voltage.Consequently,the amplitude mismatch between the channels was limited to within 0.3 d B over 12 hours of operation.

文摘This Letter demonstrates the application of dual-output modulation in a photonic analog-to-digital converter (PADC) with a high sampling rate and resolution. The PADC is time-wavelength interleaved and based on an actively mode-locked laser. According to theoretical analysis, the dual-output PADC system shows a better linearity for achieving a higher dynamic range. In the experiment, third-order distortion is significantly sup- pressed by -40 dB when the dual-output modulator is used and the effective number of bits of the PADC has reached 9.0 bits below 0.2 GHz and 6.4 bits at 6.1 GHz in our PADC with a sampling rate of 20 GS/s.

文摘We demonstrate a photonic architecture to enable the separation of ultra-wideband signals.The architecture consists of a channel-interleaved photonic analog-to-digital converter(PADC)and a dilated fully convolutional network(DFCN).The aim of the PADC is to perform ultra-wideband signal acquisition,which introduces the mixing of signals between different frequency bands.To alleviate the interference among wideband signals,the DFCN is applied to reconstruct the waveform of the target signal from the ultra-wideband mixed signals in the time domain.The channel-interleaved PADC provides a wide spectrum reception capability.Relying on the DFCN reconstruction algorithm,the ultra-wideband signals,which are originally mixed up,are effectively separated.Additionally,experimental results show that the DFCN reconstruction algorithm improves the average bit error rate by nearly three orders of magnitude compared with that without the algorithm.
文摘The total dose effect of an AD678 with a BiMOS process is studied.We investigate the performance degradation of the device in different bias states and at several dose rates.The results show that an AD678 can endure 3 krad(Si) at low dose rate and 5 krad(Si) at a high dose rate for static bias.The sensitive parameters to the bias states also differ distinctly.We find that the degradation is more serious on static bias.The underlying mechanisms are discussed in detail.

文摘Spurious-free dynamic range(SFDR)limited by intermodulation distortions is a usually accepted measure for dynamic performance of a photonic time-stretched analog-to-digital converter(ADC).In this paper,SFDR improvement in a photonic time-stretched ADC based on third-order predistortion is proposed.The third-order predistortion is achieved optically within an integrated dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator(DPMZM).The mechanism of SFDR improvement with third-order predistortion in the DPMZM is theoretically analyzed.Compared with a conventional scheme without predistortion,the experimental results show that the SFDR improvement of∼26 dB in the proposed scheme is proved.
