Abstract
A dual-channel interleaved analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating at 320 MS/s is prototyped to validate a fast-converging foreground time calibration algorithm that is independent of ADC offset errors. An input polarity switching technique is introduced to eliminate the impact of sub-ADC offset mismatches during foreground time calibration. After foreground calibration, the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) and spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) are improved by 8.6 and 18.4 dB, respectively. In the sub-ADC design, a comparison functionality is enabled in the digital circuits to prevent metastability and expedite data conversion. The single-channel conversion rates reach 160 MS/s. The ADC is implemented via 40-nm digital CMOS technology, achieving a 52.01 dB signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio (SNDR) at near-Nyquist input while sampling at 320 MS/s. The overall power consumption is 3.65 mW, which includes an on-chip reference buffer and a clock circuit.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems is published as a monthly journal under the co-sponsorship of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the IEEE Computer Society, and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.
Design and realization of microelectronic systems using VLSI/ULSI technologies require close collaboration among scientists and engineers in the fields of systems architecture, logic and circuit design, chips and wafer fabrication, packaging, testing and systems applications. Generation of specifications, design and verification must be performed at all abstraction levels, including the system, register-transfer, logic, circuit, transistor and process levels.
To address this critical area through a common forum, the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems have been founded. The editorial board, consisting of international experts, invites original papers which emphasize and merit the novel systems integration aspects of microelectronic systems including interactions among systems design and partitioning, logic and memory design, digital and analog circuit design, layout synthesis, CAD tools, chips and wafer fabrication, testing and packaging, and systems level qualification. Thus, the coverage of these Transactions will focus on VLSI/ULSI microelectronic systems integration.
