초록

본 논문에서는 1.8YV 12-bit 10MSPS CMOS A/D 변환기 (ADC)를 제안한다. 제안하는 ADC 는 12-bit의 고해상도를 구현하기 위해 even folding 기법을 이용한 Folding/Interpolation 구조로 설계하였다. ADC의 전체 구조는 2단으로 구성된 Folding/Interpolation 구조로써, 각각의 folding rate (FR)은 8을 적용하였고, interpolation rate (IR)은 $1^{st}$ stage 에서 8, $2^{nd}$ stage 에서 16을 적용하여 설계함으로써 고해상도를 만족시키기 위한 최적의 구조를 제안하였다. 또한 SNR 을 향상시키기 위하여 Folding/Interpolation 구조 자체를 cascaded 형태로 설계하였으며, distributed track and hold를 사용하였다. 제안하는 ADC는 $0.18{\mu}m$ 1-poly 4-metal n-well CMOS 공정을 사용하여 제작되었다. 시제품 ADC 는 측정결과 10MSPS 의 변환속도에서 약 46dB의 SNDR 성능특성을 보이며, 유효 칩 면적은 $2000{\mu}m{\times}1100{\mu}m$의 면적을 갖는다.

In this paper, an 1.8V 12-bit 10MSPS CMOS A/D converter (ADC) is described. The architecture of the proposed ADC is based on a folding and interpolation using an even folding technique. For the purpose of improving SNR, cascaded-folding cascaded-interpolation technique, distributed track and hold are adapted. Further, a digital encoder algorithm is proposed for efficient digital process. The chip has been fabricated with $0.18{\mu}m$ 1-poly 4-metal n-well CMOS technology. The effective chip area is $2000{\mu}m{\times}1100{\mu}m$ and it consumes about 250mW at 1.8V power supply. The measured SNDR is about 46dB at 10MHz sampling frequency.
