But the low power supply and relative high threshold voltage of transistors exhibit design constraints for analog circuit. Analog-to-digital converters provide the link between the analog world and the digital system. Due to their extensive use of analog and mixed analog-digital operations, A/D converters often appear as the bottleneck in data processing applications, limiting the overall speed or precision. For the increasing demand for portability and system-on-a-chip (SoC) integration, low-power dissipation and the compatibility with deep-submicron technology have emerged as important metrics in state-of-the-art ADC design. In SoC implementations, data converters are embedded on the same chip with powerful fine-line digital signal processing, resulting in a limited budget for their total heat and power consumption. In this thesis, we describe the implementation and measurement results of a 6-bit pipelined ADC with open-loop residue amplification and digital self-calibration. Employing open-loop amplifiers in one-bit-conversion-per-stage architecture, the circuit operates in high speed and low power consumption. Using a constant-gm biasing technique, the open-loop amplifier is process-and-temperature insensitive. Comparator offset and full-scale error are removed by digital self-calibrated correction mechanism. Because of no requirement of MIM or PIP capacitors, this design is capable to be fabricated in digital process. Designed in a 0.13-μm technology and powered 1.2-V supply voltage, the A/D converter operates at 500-MHz clock-rate while dissipating 13.2 mW.Chapter 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Motivation 1 1.2 Thesis Organization 2 Chapter 2 Fundamentals of Analog-to-Digital Converter 5 2.1 Introduction 5 2.2 ADC Performance Metrics 5 2.2.1 Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) 5 2.2.2 Signal to Noise and Distortion Ratio (SNDR) 7 2.2.3 Resolution and Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) 7 2.2.4 Nonlinearity 7 2.3 Architectures of Analog-to-Digital Converters 9 2.3.1 Flash ADC 9 2.3.2 Two Step Flash ADC 10 2.3.3 Pipelined ADC 10 2.3.4 Cyclic ADC 11 2.4 Summary 12 Chapter 3 The Design of Pipelined A/D Converter 13 3.1 Introduction 13 3.2 Key Building Blocks of Pipelined ADC 13 3.3 Conventional Conversion Stage Design 16 3.3.1 Switched Capacitor Technique 17 3.3.2 Switched Capacitor MDAC 18 3.4 Low-Power-High-Speed Conversion Stage Design 19 3.4.1 Common Source Operation 19 3.4.2 Open-Loop Residue Amplifier 25 3.4.3 Constant-Gm Biasing 28 3.4.4 Open-Loop Residue Amplifier with Constant-Gm Biasing 29 3.4.5 Dynamic Comparator 30 3.5 Nonideality considerations 31 3.5.1 Nonlinearity 31 3.5.2 Offset Error 33 3.5.3 Full-Scale Error 34 3.5.4 Digital Self-Calibration Algorithm 35 3.6 Behavioral Model of Pipelined ADC 37 3.6.1 Mathematical Modeling 37 3.6.2 Parameter Estimation 39 3.7 Summary 40 Chapter 4 Circuit Implementation 41 4.1 Introduction 41 4.2 Sample-and-Hold Circuit 42 4.3 Constant-Gm Biasing Circuit 44 4.4 Open-Loop Amplifier 45 4.5 Dynamic Comparator 47 4.6 Reference Circuit 48 4.7 Clock Generator and Divider 49 4.8 Digital Circuit and Output Buffer 50 4.9 The Simulation Results of Pipelined ADC 51 4.10 Layout and Floorplan 53 4.11 Summary 54 Chapter 5 Test and Experimental Results 57 5.1 Introduction 57 5.2 Test Setup 57 5.2.1 Test Equipments 57 5.2.2 Print Circuit Board Design 58 5.4 Experimental Results 60 5.5 Summary 63 Chapter 6 Conclusions 65 6.1 Conclusions 65 6.2 Future Works 65 Bibliography 672970701 bytesapplication/pdfen-US數位自行校正導管式類比數位轉換器開迴路殘值增益open-loop residue amplificationdigital self-calibrationpipelined A/D converterthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/57339/1/ntu-93-R91943019-1.pdf
