Abstract

A 5-bit 1 GSample/s two-stage ADC is designed and simulated in TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The new architecture combines the characteristics of flash, subranging and folding ADC. The analog front-end of this work is the same as that of a typical flash ADC. By replacing folding amplifier with the current-mode multiplexer (MUX), cyclic thermometer code, the digital output of folding ADC, is obtained and frequency multiplication effect is avoided. Besides, the slow switching of the reference voltage range is also avoided. The number of the comparators is reduced to 16, and it is 32 typically. Operating at 1 GSample/s, the ENOB is 4.92 and 4.71 bit at input frequency 10 and 500 MHz, respectively. This ADC consumes 63mW from a 1.8 V supply, achieving FOMs of 2.4 pJ/conversion-step at 1 GSample/s.
