Abstract

In this paper, a CMOS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications with a 6-bit IGSPS at 1.8V is described. The architecture of the proposed ADC is based on a fully folded ADC using resistive interpolation technique for low power consumption. To reduce the power consumption, a folder reduction technique to decrease the number of folding blocks (NFB) is proposed. Further, a novel layout technique is introduced for compact area. With the clock speed of IGHz, the ADC achieves an effective resolution bandwidth (ERBW) of 200MHz, while consuming only 60mW of power. The measured INL and DNL are within ±0.7LSB, ±0.5LSB, respectively. The measured SNDR is 33.64dB, when Fin=100MHz at Fs=IGHz. The active chip occupies an area of 0.27mm2 in 0.18μm CMOS technology.
