Modelling and Characterization of Pipelined ADCs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with the problems of modeling and testing of pipeline ADCs. In particular, such problems are faced through the realization of a modular Virtual Instrument. It has been developed in Java language in order to be remotely manageable through a common Internet browser. The instrument features includes (i) a module able in modeling an ADC through the specialization of a simplified behavioral model, also sketched in the paper; (ii) a module executing the dynamic testing of the device in frequency domain; (iii) a scalable database providing the data sharing among more remote users; and (iv) some interface modules to programmable instrumentation. The paper also presents the results of the first validation phase of the instrument, carried out on two pipeline ADCs.

متن کاملA 50MS/s 9.9mW pipelined ADC with 58dB SNDR in 0.18µm CMOS using capacitive charge-pumps
In the interest of extending battery life in mobile systems that use pipelined ADCs, several power-efficient pipelined ADCs have recently been proposed. The most promising topologies reported thus far are those that substitute the opamp, which is the largest consumer of power in pipelined ADCs, with alternative and more power-efficient circuits. However, opamp-less pipelined ADCs thus far eithe...
متن کاملReduced-code test method using sub-histograms for pipelined ADCs
The measurement of static test parameters for an analog-todigital converter (ADC) requires a large volume of test data, especially for a high-resolution ADC. This paper proposes a reduced-code test method for pipelined ADCs that does not compromise test accuracy. The proposed method calculates fault information at each stage by using sub-histograms. The simulation results based on 12-bit pipeli...
متن کاملCircuits and algorithms for pipelined ADCs in scaled CMOS technologies
CMOS technology scaling is creating significant issues for analog circuit design. For example, reduced signal swing and device gain make it increasingly difficult to realize high-speed, high-gain feedback loops traditionally used in switched capacitor circuits. This research involves two complementary methods for addressing scaling issues. First is the development of two blind digital calibrati...

Pipelined ADCs are widely used in Nyquist sampling applications that require a combination of high resolution and high throughput. While scaling of CMOS technology offers the potential for improvement of sampling rate, the accompanying reduction in supply voltage creates both fundamental and practical limitations on achievable resolution and speed, particularly when low power consumption is req...
