-
摘要: 该文提出了一种用于高速高精度电荷域流水线模数转换器(ADC)的电荷域4.5位前端子级电路。该4.5位子级电路使用增强型电荷传输(BCT)电路替代传统开关电容技术流水线ADC中的高增益带宽积运放来实现电荷信号传输和余量处理,从而实现超低功耗。所提4.5位子级电路被运用于一款14位210 MS/s电荷域ADC中作为前端第1级子级电路,并在1P6M 0.18 μm CMOS工艺下实现。测试结果显示,该14位ADC电路在210 MS/s条件下对于30.1 MHz单音正弦输入信号得到的无杂散动态范围为85.4 dBc,信噪比为71.5 dBFS, ADC内核面积为3.2 mm2,功耗仅为205 mW。Abstract: A 4.5 bit sub-stage circuit for high speed high precision charge domain pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is proposed. Instead of the high-performance opamps used in traditional switched-capacitor pipelined ADCs, charge transfer and residue charge calculation is realized with Boosted Charge Transfer (BCT) circuit in the proposed 4.5 bit sub-stage. Therefore, the power consumption of the 4.5 bit sub-stage circuit can be reduced remarkably. The proposed 4.5 bit sub-stage circuit is used as the 1st stage circuit for a 14 bit 210 MS/s charge domain pipelined ADC and realized in a 1P6M 0.18 μm CMOS process. Test results show the 14 bit 210 MS/s ADC achieves the signal-to-noise ratio of 71.5 dBFS and the spurious free dynamic range of 85.4 dB, with 30.1 MHz input single tone signal at 210 MS/s, while the ADC core consumes the power consumption of 205 mW and occupies an area of 3.2 mm2.
