This paper described an 8bit, 100Msample/s CMOS D/A converter using a glich-time minimization technique for the high-speed sampling rate of 100MHz level. The proposed DAC was implemented in 0,35um Hynix CMOS technology and adopts a current mode architecture to optimize sampling rate, resolution, chip area. The DAC linear characteristics was similar to the proposed specification the prototype error between DNL and INL is less than ${\pm}0.09LSB$ respectively. Also, fab-out chip was tested, analysed the cause of error operation, and proposed the field considerations for chip test.

This paper presents a design of the CMOS LDO regulator with a fast transient response for a high speed PMIC(power management integrated circuit). Proposed LDO regulator circuit consists of a reference voltage circuit, an error amplifier and a power transistor. 2-stage wide-band OTA buffer between error amplifier and power transistor is added for a good output stability. Although conventional source follower buffer structure is simple, it has a narrow output swing and a low S/N ratio. In this paper, we use a 2-stage wide-band OTA instead of source follower structure for a buffer. From HSPICE simulation results using a $0.5{\mu}m$ CMOS standard technology, simulation results were 16 mV/V line regulation and 0.007 %/mA load regulation.

A CMOS folding ADC with transistor differential pair folding circuit for low power consumption and high speed operation is presented in this paper. This paper explains the theory of transistor differential pair folding technique and many advantages compared with conventional folding and interpolation circuits. A ADC based on transistor differential pair folding circuit uses 16 fine comparators and 32 interpolation resistors. So it is possible to achieve low power consumption, high speed operation and small chip size. Design technology is based on fully standard 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ double poly 2 metal n-well CMOS process. A power consumption is 45mW at 2.5V applied voltage and 250MHz sampling frequency. The INL and DNL are within $\pm$0.15LSB and $\pm$0.15LSB respectively. The SNDR is approximately 50dB at 10MHz input frequency.

A 8-bit 15MHz CMOS subranging Analog-to-Digital converter for high-speed, low-power consumption applications is described. Subranging, 2 step flash, A/D converter used a new resistor string and a simple comparator architecture for the low power consumption and small chip area. Comparator exhibites 80dB loop gain, 50MHz conversion speed, 0.5mV offset and maximum error of voltage divider was 1mV. This Analog-to-Digital converter has been designed and fabricated in 1.2 m N-well CMOS technology. It consumed 150mW power at ＋5/-5V supply and delayed 65ns. The proposed Analog-to-Digital converter seems suitable for high- speed, low-power consumption, small area applications and one-chip mixed Analog- Digital system. Simulations are performed with PSPICE and a fabricated chip is tested.

This work proposes a 12b 60MS/s 0.18um CMOS Flash-SAR ADC for various systems such as wireless communications and portable video processing systems. The proposed Flash-SAR ADC alleviates the weakness of a conventional SAR ADC that the operation speed proportionally increases with a resolution by deciding upper 4bits first with a high-speed flash ADC before deciding lower 9bits with a low-power SAR ADC. The proposed ADC removes a sampling-time mismatch by using the C-R DAC in the SAR ADC as the combined sampling network instead of a T/H circuit which restricts a high speed operation. An interpolation technique implemented in the flash ADC halves the required number of pre-amplifiers, while a switched-bias power reduction scheme minimizes the power consumption of the flash ADC during the SAR operation. The TSPC based D-flip flop in the SAR logic for high-speed operation reduces the propagation delay by 55% and the required number of transistors by half compared to the conventional static D-flip flop. The prototype ADC in a 0.18um CMOS demonstrates a measured DNL and INL within 1.33LSB and 1.90LSB, with a maximum SNDR and SFDR of 58.27dB and 69.29dB at 60MS/s, respectively. The ADC occupies an active die area of $0.54mm^2$ and consumes 5.4mW at a 1.8V supply.

In this paper we present on architecture for a high sppeed CMOS multiplier which can be used for real-time digital signal processing. And a synthesis method for designing highly parallel algorithms in VLSI is presented. A parallel multiplier design based on the modified Booth's algorithms and Ling's algorthm. This paper addresses the design of multiplier capable of accpting data in 2's complement notation and coefficients in 2's complement notation. Multiplier consists of an interative array of sequential cells, and are well suited to VLSI implementation as a results of their modularity and regularity. Booth's decoders can be fully tested using a relatively small number af test vector.

In high speed flash type or pipelining type A/D Converter, the faster sampling frequency is, the more the effect of DC reference fluctuation is increased by clock feed-through and kick-back. When we measure A/D Converter, further, external noise increases reference voltage fluctuation. Thus reference fluctuation reduction circuit must be needed in high speed A/D converter. Conventional circuit simply uses capacitor but layout area is large and it's not efficient. In this paper, a reference fluctuation reduction circuit using transmission gate is proposed. In order to verify the proposed technique, we designed and manufactured 6bit 2GSPS CMOS A/D converter. The A/D converter is based on 0.18um 1-poly 5-metal N-well CMOS technology, and it consumes 145mW at 1.8V power supply. It occupies chip area of $977um\times1040um$. Experimental result shows that SNDR is 36.25 dB and INL/DNL ${\pm}0.5LSB$ when sampling frequency is 2GHz.
