摘要

A single channel 2GSps, 8-bit folding and interpolation (F&I) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with foreground calibration in TSMC 90 nm CMOS technology is presented in this paper. The ADC utilizes cascaded folding, which incorporates an interstage sample-and-hold amplifier between the two stages of folding circuits to enhance the quantization time. A master-slave track-and-hold amplifier (THA) with bootstrapped switch is taken as the front-end circuit to improve ADC's performance. The foreground digital assisted calibration has also been employed to correct the error of zero-crossing point caused by the circuit offset, thus improving the linearity of the ADC. Chip area of the whole ADC including pads is 930 mu m x 930 mu m. Postsimulation results demonstrate that, under a single supply of 1.2 volts, the power consumption is 210 mW. For the sampling rate of 2GSps, the signal to noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) is 45.93 dB for Nyquist input signal.
