A 25-GS/s 8-bit Current-Steering DAC With ADC-Based Duty-Cycle Detection in 40-nm CMOS
This brief presents a current-steering 25-GS/s 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) based on a 40-nm CMOS technology. The DAC employs a dual-edge sampling (DES) architecture to reduce the requirement of main clock frequency, optimizing switching noise and improving power efficiency. DES is sensitive to the clock duty cycle. To minimize the image tones and performance degradation caused by duty-cycle errors, a single-slope analog-to-digital converter (ADC)-based duty-cycle detection and correction scheme is proposed, achieving closed-loop background calibration. A T-coil output network is used to extend the bandwidth. The proposed DAC achieves a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of >40 dBc up to the Nyquist frequency and a >12-GHz output bandwidth with sinc roll-off compensation. The active power consumption is about 272 mW under 1.8-/0.9-/−1.8-V power supply.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems is published as a monthly journal under the co-sponsorship of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the IEEE Computer Society, and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.
Design and realization of microelectronic systems using VLSI/ULSI technologies require close collaboration among scientists and engineers in the fields of systems architecture, logic and circuit design, chips and wafer fabrication, packaging, testing and systems applications. Generation of specifications, design and verification must be performed at all abstraction levels, including the system, register-transfer, logic, circuit, transistor and process levels.
To address this critical area through a common forum, the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems have been founded. The editorial board, consisting of international experts, invites original papers which emphasize and merit the novel systems integration aspects of microelectronic systems including interactions among systems design and partitioning, logic and memory design, digital and analog circuit design, layout synthesis, CAD tools, chips and wafer fabrication, testing and packaging, and systems level qualification. Thus, the coverage of these Transactions will focus on VLSI/ULSI microelectronic systems integration.
