Abstract

In this paper, a 3V 8-bit 200MSPS CMOS folding / interpolation A/D Converter is proposed. It employs an efficient architecture whose FR(Folding Rate) is 8, NFB(Number of Folding Block) is 4, and IR (Interpolating Rate) is 8. For the purpose of improved SNDR by to be low input frequency, distributed track and hold circuits are included. In order to obtain a high speed and low power operation, further, a novel dynamic latch and digital encoder based on a novel delay error correction are proposed. The chip has been fabricated with a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 2-poly 3-metal n-well CMOS technology. The effective chip area is 1070${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$650${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and it dissipates about 230mW at 3.3V power supply. The INL is within $\pm$1LSB and DNL is within $\pm$1LSB, respectively. The SNDR is about 43㏈, when the input frequency is 10MHz at 200MHz clock frequency.

본 논문에서는 CMOS로 구현된 3.3V 8-bit 200MSPS의 Folding / Interpolation 구조의 A/D 변환기를 제안한다. 회로에 사용된 구조는 FR(Folding Rate)이 8, NFB(Number of Folding Block)가 4, Interpolation rate 이 8이며, 분산 Track and Hold 구조를 회로를 사용하여 Sampling시 입력주파수를 Hold하여 높은 SNDR을 얻을 수 있었다. 고속동작과 저 전력 기능을 위하여 향상된 래치와 디지털 Encoder를 제안하였고 지연시간 보정을 위한 회로도 제안하였다. 제안된 ADC는 0.35㎛, 2-Poly, 3-Metal, n-well CMOS 공정을 사용하여 제작되었으며, 유효 칩 면적은 1070㎛×650㎛ 이고, 3.3V전압에서 230mW의 전력소모를 나타내었다. 입력 주파수 10MHz, 샘플링 주파수 200MHz에서의 INL과 DNL은 ±1LSB 이내로 측정되었으며, SNDR은 43㏈로 측정되었다.
