Beschreibung
Time-interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converters describes the research performed on low-power time-interleaved ADCs. A detailed theoretical analysis is made of the time-interleaved Track & Hold, since it must be capable of handling signals in the GHz range with little distortion, and minimal power consumption. Timing calibration is not attractive, therefore design techniques are presented which do not require timing calibration. The design of power efficient sub-ADCs is addressed with a theoretical analysis of a successive approximation converter and a pipeline converter. It turns out that the first can consume about 10 times less power than the latter, and this conclusion is supported by literature. Timeinterleaved AnalogtoDigital Converters describes the design of a high performance timeinterleaved ADC, with much attention for practical design aspects, aiming at both industry and research. Measurements show bestinclass performance with a samplerate of 1.8 GS/s, 7.9 ENOBs and a power efficiency of 1 pJ/conversionstep.
