  • Abstract
    This paper describes an 18b 12.5 MHz ADC that uses a pipeline of 2 successive-approximation ADCs. Both ADCs, one before and one after a closed loop residue amplifier, determine 2 bits plus one redundant bit per bit trial. The converter core consumes 105 mW and achieves a dynamic range of 93 dB. The chip is implemented in a 0.25 ¿m/0.5 ¿m CMOS process and occupies 6 mm2.
