Abstract

In this brief, a counter structure which facilitates the design of a coarse-fine voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)-based analog-to-digital converter (ADC) at high bandwidths is presented. A key challenge is the asynchrony between the coarse and fine counters for which it is quantitatively proven that effective ambiguity resolution is necessary to obtain a sufficient performance. To achieve this, a latch-based, bit-level redundant coarse counter featuring fast ambiguity resolution and operating at high VCO frequencies is presented. Using this novel counter structure a power-efficient VCO-ADC with a core area of 0.007 mm2 and a post-layout simulated figure-of-merit of 168 dB at a bandwidth of 100 MHz is demonstrated.
一个位级双计数器,支持低功耗高带宽vco - adc
本文简要介绍了一种计数器结构,该结构有助于设计基于粗-细压控振荡器(VCO)的高带宽模数转换器(ADC)。一个关键的挑战是粗计数器和细计数器之间的异步,定量证明了有效的歧义解决是获得足够性能所必需的。为了实现这一目标,提出了一种基于锁存器的位级冗余粗计数器,该计数器具有快速模糊度分辨率和工作在高VCO频率下。利用这种新颖的计数器结构,演示了一种核心区为0.007 mm2,在100 MHz带宽下的布局后仿真品质因数为168 dB的低功耗VCO-ADC。
