Title
A 1mw 4b 1gs/S Delay-Line Based Analog-To-Digital Converter
Abstract
In this paper we introduce a novel Analog-to-Digital architecture for high speed applications that is compatible with digital CMOS and surpasses the issues with traditional voltage conversion techniques. The quantization method is based on the delay-to-digital concept as a means to quantize a variable delay line. A 4bit 1GS/s ADC with 1mW power consumption is designed in 65nm CMOS based on the proposed architecture. The new architecture is highly scalable with CMOS technology and because of its delay-line-based core, the ADCs performance enhances with further CMOS scaling and provides a promising method for the trend toward more digital implementation of circuits.
