A 10-Bit 200-MS/s digitally-calibrated pipelined ADC using switching opamps

A 10-bit 200-MS/s pipelined ADC was fabricated using a 90 nm CMOS technology. Switching opamps are used to save power. They are designed for high speed and fast turn-on time. Digital background calibration is used to correct the conversion error caused by the low dc gain of the opamps. The ADC consumes 26 mW from a 1.1 V supply. Its measured DNL and INL are +0.98/−0.81 LSB and +1.4/−1.5 LSB respectively. Its measured SNDR and SFDR are 55 dB and 67.2 dB respectively. The chip active area is 0.69 mm².
