Abstract

The authors describe a nine-stage, pipelined, video-rate, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a 0.9-μm CMOS technology. At a conversion rate of 20 Msamples/s, the converter has 10-b resolution, 56-dB signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) with a 100-kHz input, and 54-dB SNDR with a 5-MHz input. It occupies 9.3 mm2 and dissipates 300 mW. The key innovation in this ADC is the improved correction algorithm, which requires one fewer comparator per stage than used in traditional architectures.
