Abstract :
We propose an encoder design using the robust principle of programmable logic arrays (PLA). High-speed operation in the MHz-GHz range is the major goal of flash ADC design. High-speed ADC needs a fast comparator, a high-speed encoder and a fast sample-and-hold circuit. The paper discusses these three areas of high-speed ADC design; they each need equal careful attention.
