A 40MHz-BW 35fJ/step-FoM nonlinearity-cancelling two-step ADC with dual-input VCO-based quantizer
This paper presents a nonlinearity cancellation technique in a closed-loop two-step VCO-based ADC, where the VCO's distortion is substantially mitigated in a robust manner. A dual-input VCO-based quantizer topology is proposed to realize a low-power multi-input adder, with no penalty in terms of nonlinearity. Fabricated in a 40nm CMOS process, the prototype two-step 12-bit ADC achieves 68.7dB/66.8dB SNR/SNDR with a 40MHz bandwidth and consumes only 4.98mW. This corresponds to an excellent FoM of 35fJ/step.
