ABSTRACT

Most analog IC designers and students are drawn to ADCs. While some ADC realizations have had a lasting impact, examples including pipelined ADCs with digital redundancy and multi-bit DS modulators with dynamic element matching, there are many more recently proposed ADC design techniques and architectures that are receiving much attention and also gaining momentum in some areas. Many of these ideas are showered with doubts and honest criticism. However, we may also be entering an era where a few of these developments would help resolve the tough submicron scaling challenge that analog designers face today. This lecture will summarize and ponder the impact of a few recently popularized ADCs as well as the latest ideas that are being developed in my group at the Oregon State University.
