This book presents models and procedures to design pipeline analog-to-digital converters, compensating for device inaccuracies, so that high-performance specs can be met within short design cycles. These models are capable of capturing and predicting the behavior of pipeline data converters within less than half-a-bit deviation, versus transistor-level simulations. As a result, far fewer model iterations are required across the design cycle. Models described in this book accurately predict transient behaviors, which are key to the performance of discrete-time systems and hence to the performance of pipeline data converters.

This book discusses the theoretical foundations and design techniques needed to effectively design high-speed (multi-GS/s) and high-performance pipelined ADCs, which play a critical role in the signal chain of various systems. Readers will be walked through the design and analysis of pipelined ADCs and their topologies, and will learn both theoretical and practical design details that will enable them to explore and build these data converters. The author also presents details on various aspects of pipelined ADCs and their impact on the ADC speed and performance, with a focus on the input buffer and sampling network, the reference amplifier, comparators and their impact on ADC error rate and high-frequency performance, and mismatch estimation and correction.

Digitally Assisted Pipeline ADCs: Theory and Implementation explores the opportunity to reduce ADC power dissipation by leveraging digital signal processing capabilities in fine line integrated circuit technology. The described digitally assisted pipelined ADC uses a statistics-based system identification technique as an enabling element to replace precision residue amplifiers with simple open-loop gain stages. The digital compensation of analog circuit distortion eliminates one key factor in the classical noise-speed-linearity constraint loop and thereby enables a significant power reduction. Digitally Assisted Pipeline ADCs: Theory and Implementation describes in detail the implementation and measurement results of a 12-bit, 75-MSample/sec proof-of-concept prototype. The Experimental converter achieves power savings greater than 60% over conventional implementations. Digitally Assisted Pipeline ADCs: Theory and Implementation will be of interest to researchers and professionals interested in advances of state-of-the-art in A/D conversion techniques.

ADDA is a forum where experts in the field meet and exchange information on the developments in this field. Due to recent growth in advanced Analogue to Digital and Digital to Analogue, the topics covered were conversion techniques, applications, calibration, testing standardisation and performance. There is continuous improvement of higher speed and longer scale length devices together with new processing techniques to put more and more performance on 'the chip'. Together with this, new techniques are being developed into new applications. The driving force is the relentless move to replace analogue circuitry with digital.
