Design of 3V a Low-Power CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converter

본 논문에서는 MOS 트랜지스터로만 이루어진 CMOS IADC(Current-mode Analog-to-Digital Converter)를 설계하였다. 각 단은 CSH(Current Sample-and-Hold)와 CCMP(Current Comparator)로 구성된 1.5-비트 비트 셀로 구성되었다. 비트 셀 전단은 CFT(Clock Feedthrough)가 제거된 9-비트 해상도의 차동 CSH를 배치하였고, 각 단 비트 셀의 ADSC(Analog-to-Digital Subconverter)는 2개의 래치 CCMP로 구성되었다. 제안된 IADC를 현대 0.65 ㎛ CMOS 파라미터로 ACAD 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 20 Ms/s에서 100 ㎑의 입력 신호에 대한 SINAD(Signal to Noise-Plus-Distortion)은 47 ㏈ SNR (Signal-to-Noise)는 50 ㏈(8-bit)을 얻었고 35.7 ㎽ 소비전력 특성을 나타냈다.

In this paper, CMOS IADC(Current-mode Analog-to-Digital Converter) which consists of only CMOS transistors is proposed. Each stages is made up 1.5-bit bit cells composed of CSH(Current-mode Sample-and-Hold) and CCMP(Current Comparator). The differential CSH which designed to eliminate CFT(Clock Feedthrough), to meet at least 9-bit resolution, is placed at the front-end of each bit cells, and each stages of bit cell ADSC (Analog-to-Digital Subconverter) is made up two latch CCMPs. With the HYUNDAI TEX>$0.65\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS parameter, the ACAD simulation results show that the proposed IADC can be operated with 47 dB of SINAD(Signal to Noise- Plus-Distortion), 50dB(8-bit) of SNR(Signal-to-Noise) and 37.7 mW of power consumption for input signal of 100 KHz at 20 Ms/s.
