Abstract
An 800MS/s CT ΔΣ ADC with 16MHz/32MHz bandwidths consumes 47.6mW from 1.8V and occupies 1mm2 in a 0.18μm CMOS process. The DR/SNR/SNDR for the two bandwidths are 75/67/65 dB and 64/57/57 dB respectively. Excess loop delay (ELD) of more than one cycle is compensated using a fast path outside the flash ADC. This and a low latency flash ADC and delay free DAC calibration result in the highest reported sampling rate in this process. © 2011 IEEE.
