A Capacitor Memory Erasing Technique for Pipeline ADCs

Article Preview

Abstract:

A capacitor memory erasing technique for pipeline ADC is introduced, which insert a clearing phase to the traditional working timing sequence of the MDAC to erasing the residual charges on the sampling capacitor. The measurement shows that the 14-bit pipeline ADC adopting the proposed technique can achieve a sampling rate of 250MSPS with SNR 69dB, SFDR 80dB, compared with the traditional ADC of sampling rate 100MSPS, SNR 60dB, SFDR 71dB, which proves the proposed technique can improve the performances of pipeline ADCS obviously.
