Title
3.6 A 6-to-600MS/s Fully Dynamic Ringamp Pipelined ADC with Asynchronous Event-Driven Clocking in 16nm
Abstract
At the upper end of achievable ADC operating speeds, clocking becomes a critical performance limiter. In “deep” pipelined ADCs that contain many stages, the clock tree constitutes a highly distributed network, with parasitics and mismatch creating skew between the different branches. Sufficient margin must be included in the timing generation such that all non-overlap and causal relationships are maintained. This leads to a difficult set of design tradeoffs in terms of power, speed, jitter, and reliability. Meanwhile, although residue amplifiers have traditionally dominated the power budget in deep pipelines, recent advances such as ring amplification have improved achievable efficiencies to the point that clocking is now the primary consumer in some cases [1, 2].
