In the Pursuit of the Optimal Accuracy-Speed-Power Analog-to-Digital Converter Architecture KU Leuven
A 5GS/s 158.6mW 12b Passive-Sampling 8×-Interleaved Hybrid ADC with 9.4 ENOB and 160.5dB FoMS in 28nm CMOS KU Leuven
This paper presents a 5GS/s 158.6mW 12b Passive-Sampling 8x-Interleaved Hybrid ADC. A power reduction of 2x with a BW larger than 6GHz and a Nyquist SNDR/SFDR of 58.5dB/65.4dB are enabled by: (1) very low resistance/capacitance passive input network; (2) negligible jitter on-chip clock division and distribution; (3) optimized 3-stage Pipelined-SAR sub-ADC hybrid; (4) on-chip sub-ADC/TI analog/digital calibration. The 28nm CMOS prototype achieves ...
Energy autonomous sensor systems: towards a ubiquitous sensor technology KU Leuven
Energy efficiency of electronic systems has emerged as one of the most important trends in integrated circuits research in recent years. The results of this continued effort are visible in all kinds of electronic functions: DSPs (reaching the 10 μW/MMAC according Gene's law), data converters (the FOM of recent ADCs is approaching 15 fJ/conversion step [1] (Liu et al., 2010)), power converters (reaching unprecedented efficiencies in ...
Energy autonomous sensor systems: State and perspectives of a ubiquitous sensor technology KU Leuven
Recent years have seen a strong focus of the IC research community towards increasing the energy efficiency of electronic systems. This continued effort has involved all kinds of electronic functions: DSPs (reaching the 10μW/MMAC according Gene's law), data converters (the FOM of recent ADCs is better than 50fJ/conversion), radios (reaching the level of 3nJ per received-transmitted bit). Exploiting this ever-increasing energy efficiency, the ...
