摘要
A 13-bit ADC is implemented using a novel charge-domain architecture. Enhanced bucket-brigade circuitry and a tapered charge pipeline provide precision charge-domain operation in a standard CMOS process, while eliminating the need for signal-path op-amps. The prototype ADC, implemented in 0.18 mu m CMOS, provides 10.65 ENOB at 250 MS/s while consuming only 140 mW, yielding an exceptionally low FoM of 0.28 pJ/conversion-step. Simulations indicate that the architecture and circuitry are well suited to scaling below 90nm.
