Abstract :
The paper presents a 8 bit, 1.5b/stage fully differential pipeline ADC using a single second generation current conveyor (CCII) per stage. The fully differential configuration uses a passive common mode suppression technique to eliminate the need for common mode feedback circuits. Furthermore, simple foreground calibration is used to correct errors due to process induced mismatch and changes in gain, offset voltages. Simulation results show that the ADC works for differential inputs of (-500m, 500m) at 10MHz with 7.1 ENOB. The INL and DNL are within ± 0.8LSB and ± 0.5LSB respectively. The total power of the analog part is 5.5mW in a 1V/90nm TSMC process.
