Digitally Assisted Backend Correction Pipeline ADC Verilog-A Modeling

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a 12 bits pipeline ADC (analog to digital converter) based on digitally assisted backend correction is described and behaviorally modeled in Verilog-A language. The Verilog-A model is simulated with Cadence Spectre simulator. In the traditional use of pipeline ADC, the for-end sample and hold amplifier occupies the most power consumption. To decreases the system power consumption, open-loop amplifier is used in the first residual amplify circuit between first and second stage sub-ADC. To correct the nonlinear error introduced by the open-loop amplifier, backend digitally correction is applied.
