The options of different stage resolutions in Pipelined ADCs and their effect on speed, power dissipation, linearity and area are discussed in this paper. The basic building blocks viz. Op-Amp Sample and Hold circuit, sub converter, D/A Converter and residue amplifier used in every stage is assumed to be identical. The sub converters are implemented using flash architectures. The paper implements a 10-bit 50 Mega Samples/Sec Pipelined A/D Converter using 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bits/stage conversion techniques and discusses about its impact on speed, power, area, and linearity. The design implementation uses 0.18 μm CMOS technology and a 3.3 V power supply. The paper concludes stating that a resolution of 2 bits/stage is optimum for a Pipelined ADC and to reduce the design complexity, we may go up to 3 bits/stage.展开更多

In order to achieve a good phase margin, the NMCF compensation scheme uses the positive phase shift of left-half-plane （LHP） zero caused by the feedforvvard path to counteract the negative phase shift of the non-dominant pole. Compared to traditional Miller compensation method, the op-amp obtains high gain and wide band synchronously without the pole-splitting effect while saves significant chip area due to the absence of the Miller capacitor. Simulated by the 0.35 μm CMOS RF technology, the result shows that the open-loop gain of the op-amp is 118 dB with the unity gain-bandwidth （UGBW） of 1 GHz, and the phase margin is 61°while the settling time is 5.8 ns when achieving 0.01% accuracy. The op-amp is especially suitable for the front-end sample/hold （S/H） cell and the multiplying D/A converter （MDAC） module of the high-speed high-resolution pipelined A/D converters （AVCs）.展开更多
