Analog-to-Digital converter is designed using a current conveyor circuit and a time-to-digital converter. The analog voltage is sampled using the current conveyor circuit and then the voltage is converted to time information by the discharge of the sampling voltage. The time information is converted to digital value by the counter-type time-to-digital converter. In order to reduce the converted error the clock is synchronized with the time information pulse.

Unlike traditional delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters, incremental analog-to-digital converters enable 1:1 mapping of input and output through a reset operation, which can be used very easily for multiplexing. Incremental analog-to-digital converters also allow for simpler digital filter designs compared to traditional delta-sigma converters. Therefore, starting with analysis in the time domain of the delayed integrator and non-delayed integrator, which are the basic blocks of analog-to-digital converter design, the design equations of a second-order input feed-forward, extended counting, 2+1 MASH (Multi-stAge-noise-SHaping), 2+2 MASH incremental analog-to-digital converter are derived in this paper. This allows not only prediction of the performance of the incremental analog-to-digital converter before design, but also the design of a digital filter suitable for each analog-to-digital converter. In addition, extended counting and MASH design techniques were proposed to improve the accuracy of analog-to-digital converters.

This paper presents a 10-bit 10-MS/s asynchronous successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which consists of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a SAR logic, and a comparator. The designed asynchronous SAR ADC with a rail-to-rail input range uses a binary weighted DAC using metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitor to improve sampling rate. The proposed 10-bit 10-MS/s asynchronous SAR ADC is fabricated using a 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS process and its active area is $0.103mm^2$. The power consumption is 0.37 mW when the voltage of supply is 1.1 V. The measured SNDR are 54.19 dB and 51.59 dB at the analog input frequency of 101.12 kHz and 5.12 MHz, respectively.

This paper describes a 10-bit 10-MS/s asynchronous successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using a split-capacitor-based differential digital-to-analog converter (DAC). SAR logic and comparator are asynchronously operated to increase the sampling frequency. The time-domain comparator with an offset calibration technique is used to achieve a high resolution. The proposed 10-bit 10-MS/s asynchronous SAR ADC with the area of $140{\times}420{\mu}m^2$ is fabricated using a 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. Its power consumption is 1.19 mW at 1.8 V supply. The measured SNDR is 49.95 dB for the analog input frequency of 101 kHz. The DNL and INL are +0.57/-0.67 and +1.73/-1.58, respectively.

This paper describes a CMOS digital-to-analog converter to apply a newly-developed digital-to-analog conversion algorithm. The CMOS digital-to-analog converter has been designed by using 1.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ MOSIS SCMOS parameter and simulated for the performance. The simulated results have shown that the digital-to-analog converter has 200MHz of the maximum conversion rate, 7.41mW of the DC power consumption, and ${\pm}$0.08LSB of INL and ${\pm}$0.098LSB of DNL in 8-b.

A DC-DC converter with digital controller is realized. the digital controller has several advantages such as robustness, fast design time, and high flexibility. however, since the DC-DC output voltage is analog, an analog-to-digital conversion scheme is always essential in all digital controllers. A simple and efficient delta-sigma modulator is used as a conversion scheme in out implementation. The measurement results show good voltage regulation

In this paper, a CMOS temperature sensor is proposed to measure the internal temperature of a chip. The temperature sensor consists of a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) circuit for a temperature sensing part and a 4-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for a digital interface. The PTAT circuit with the compact area is designed by using a vertical PNP architecture in the CMOS process. To reduce sensitivity of temperature variation in the digital interface circuit of the proposed temperature sensor, a 4-bit successive approximation (SA) ADC using the minimum analog circuits is used. It uses a capacitor-based digital-to-analog converter and a time-domain comparator to minimize power consumption. The proposed temperature sensor was fabricated by using a $0.25{\mu}m$ 1-poly 6-metal CMOS process with a 2.5V supply, and its operating temperature range is from 50 to $150^{\circ}C$. The area and power consumption of the fabricated temperature sensor are $130{\times}390{\mu}m^2$ and $868{\mu}W$, respectively.

This paper proposes 5-MS/s 10-bit digital-to-analog converter(DAC) with the improved linearity. The proposed DAC consists of a 10-bit R-2R-based DAC, an output buffer using a differential voltage amplifier with rail-to-rail input range, and a band-gap reference circuit for the bias voltage. The linearity of the 10-bit R-2R DAC is improved as the resistor of 2R is implemented by including the turn-on resistance of an inverter for a switch. The output voltage range of the DAC is determined to be $2/3{\times}VDD$ from an rail-to-rail output voltage range of the R-2R DAC using a differential voltage amplifier in the output buffer. The proposed DAC is implemented using a 1-poly 8-metal 130nm CMOS process with 1.2-V supply. The measured dynamic performance of the implemented DAC are the ENOB of 9.4 bit, SNDR of 58 dB, and SFDR of 63 dBc. The measured DNL and INL are less than +/-0.35 LSB. The area and power consumption of DAC are $642.9{\times}366.6{\mu}m^2$ and 2.95 mW, respectively.

In this paper, a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with small area is proposed. The 10-bit DAC consists of a 8-bit decoder, a 2-bit time-interpolator, and a buffer amplifier. The proposed time-interpolation is achieved by controlling the charging time through a low-pass filter composed of a resistor and a capacitor. To implement the accurate time-interpolator, a control pulse generator using a replica circuit is proposed to minimize the effect of the process variation. The proposed 10-bit Time-Interpolation DAC occupies 61 % of the conventional 10-bit resistor-string DAC. The proposed DAC is designed using a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process with a 3.3 V supply. The simulated DNL and INL are +0.15/-0.21 LSB and +0.15/-0.16 LSB, respectively.
