Abstract

This paper presents a high-speed algorithmic analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which is based on gray coding. The realization method makes use of a two-input maximum circuit to provide a high-speed operation and a low-distortion in the transfer characteristic. The proposed ADC based on the CMOS integrated circuit technique is simple and suitable for implementing a highresolution ADC. The performances of the proposed circuit were studied using the PSPICE analog simulation program. The simulation-results verifying the circuit performances are agreed with the expected values.
