Abstract :
The design of an 8-bit CMOS A/D converter is described which is intended for embedded operation in VLSI chips for video applications. The requirements on accuracy are analyzed and a comparator circuit is shown which realizes a high bandwidth. The full-flash architecture operates on wideband signals like CVBS in television systems. The A/D converter core measures 2.8 mm2 in a 1 μm CMOS process. The embedded operation of the A/D converter is illustrated on a video line-resizing chip
