A new current-mode 2-bit pipelined ADC's cell

Abstract

A new current-mode 2-bit pipelined ADC's cell is presented. Its potential advantages are high-speed, low power/voltage, continuous time mode conversion, less circuit complexity and less die area. A novel cell circuitry based on current-mode has been designed. Primary results of HSPICE simulation show that an 8-bit resolution under 5-V single supply with 100 kHz sinusoidal input is achievable.
