A fully-differential switched-capacitor sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit used in a 10-bit 50-MS/s pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) was designed and fabricated using a 0.35-μm CMOS process. Capacitor fliparound architecture was used in the S/H circuit to lower the power consumption. In addition, a gain-boosted operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) was designed with a DC gain of 94 dB and a unit gain bandwidth of 460 MHz at a phase margin of 63 degree, which matches the S/H circuit. A novel double-side bootstrapped switch was used, improving the precision of the whole circuit. The measured results have shown that the S/H circuit reaches a spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of 67 dB and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 62.1 dB for a 2.5 MHz input signal with 50 MS/s sampling rate.

This paper describes a 10-bit 200-MS/s CMOS parallel pipeline analog-to-digital (A/D) converter that can sample input frequencies above 200 MHz. The converter utilizes a front-end sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit and four parallel interleaved pipeline component A/D converters followed by a digital offset compensation. By optimizing for power in the architectural level, incorporating extensively parallelism and double-sampling both in the S/H circuit and the component ADCs, a power dissipation of only 280 mW from a 3.0-V supply is achieved. Implemented in a 0.5-μm CMOS process, the circuit occupies an area of 7.4 mm². The converter achieves a differential nonlinearity and integral nonlinearity of ±0.8 LSB and ±0.9 LSB, respectively, while the peak spurious-free-dynamic-range is 55 dB and the total harmonic distortion better than 46 dB at a sampling rate of 200 MS/s

The converter is optimized for low-voltage low-power applications by applying an optimum stage-scaling algorithm at the architectural level and an opamp and comparator sharing technique at the circuit level. Prototyped in a 0.18-/spl mu/m 6M-1P CMOS process, this converter achieves a peak signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio (SNDR) of 75.5 dB and a 103-dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) without trimming, calibration, or dithering. With a 1-MHz analog input, the maximum differential nonlinearity is 0.47 LSB and the maximum integral nonlinearity is 0.54 LSB. The large analog bandwidth of the front-end sample-and-hold circuit is achieved using bootstrapped thin-oxide transistors as switches, resulting in an SFDR of 97 dB when a 40-MHz full-scale input is digitized. The ADC occupies an active area of 10 mm/sup 2/ and dissipates 98 mW.

A time-interleaved ADC architecture that eliminates the need to correct timing offsets and is yet scalable to high sampling rates is presented. To eliminate timing skews, a Nyquist rate sampling switch is used, which is followed by subsampled, double-sampled time-interleaved sample-and-hold (S/H) stages. This circuit is configured with a special clocking scheme that reduces the loading of the interleaved S/Hs on the Nyquist rate sampling switch, making this scalable to high sampling rates. The subsampled ADCs (sub-ADCs) in this design use a 3.5-bit/stage pipelined architecture. This 1-GS/s 11-bit ADC achieves 55-dB peak SNDR, 58.6-dB SNR, consumes 250-mW core power, and occupies a core area of 3.5 mm².

A 1.8-V 67-mW 10-bit 100-MS/s pipelined ADC using time-shifted CDS technique

A time-shifted correlated double sampling (CDS) technique is proposed in the design of a 10-bit 100-MS/s pipelined ADC. This technique significantly reduces the finite opamp gain error without compromising the conversion speed, allowing the active opamp blocks to be replaced by simple cascoded CMOS inverters. Both high-speed and low-power operation is achieved without compromising the accuracy requirement. An efficient common-mode voltage control is introduced for pseudodifferential architecture which can further reduce power consumption. Fabricated in a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process, the prototype 10-bit pipelined ADC occupies 2.5 mm/sup 2/ of active die area. With 1-MHz input signal, it achieves 65-dB SFDR and 54-dB SNDR at 100MS/s. For 99-MHz input signal, the SFDR and SNDR are 63 and 51 dB, respectively. The total power consumption is 67 mW at 1.8-V supply, of which analog portion consumes 45 mW without any opamp current scaling down the pipeline.
