Description
Summary:This paper presents a 1.2 V 10-bit 5MS/s low power cyclic analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The strategy to minimize the power adopts the double-sampling technique. At the front-end, a timing-skew-insensitive double-sampled Miller-capacitance-based sample-and-hold circuit (S/H) is employed to enhance the dynamic performance of the cyclic ADC. Double sampling technique is also applied to multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC). This scheme provides a better power efficiency for the proposed cyclic ADC. Furthermore, bootstrapped switch is used to achieve rail-to-rail signal swing at low-voltage power supply. The prototype ADC, fabricated in TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS 1P6 M process, achieves DNL and INL of 0.32LSB and 0.45LSB respectively, while SFDR is 69.1 dB and SNDR is 58.6 dB at an input frequency of 600 kHz. Operating at 5MS/s sampling rate under a single 1.2 V power supply, the power consumption is 1.68 mW.
