Abstract

In this paper, a 12-bit 50-MS/s pipeline analog-to-digital converter(ADC) is presented. A digital-adjustable bias current generator scales the opamp bias currents. By this means, the power consumption can be adjustable according to the use. The switched-capicitor comparator is used to improve the sub-ADC´ accurrency and minimize the offset. The effective number of bits is 11.3 when a input signal with 2 Vp-p signal swing is applied. The ADC is designed in a 0.13-Â¿m CMOS process and consumes 55 mW under a 2.5 V power supply.
