Abstract

An ADC circuit (50) is disclosed. The ADC circuit (50) comprises a global input configured to receive an input voltage (Vin) and a plurality of converter circuits (105l-105N). Each converter circuit (105j) comprises a comparator circuit (70j) having a first input connected to the global input, a second input, and an output configured to output a one-bit output signal of the comparator circuit (70j). Furthermore, each converter circuit (105j) comprises a one-bit current-output DAC (110j) having an input directly controlled from the output of the comparator circuit (70j) and an output connected to the second input of the comparator circuit (70j). The second inputs of all comparator circuits are interconnected. The ADC circuit (50) further comprises a digital output circuit (130) configured to generate an output signal z[n] of the ADC circuit (50) in response to the one-bit output signals of the comparator circuits (70j).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to analog-to-digital conversion. Background technique [0002] Wireless transceivers for 5G (fifth-generation cellular networks) and other standards have a tendency to use higher bandwidths, placing stringent requirements on analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). One way to achieve high speed is to use a flash ADC. It uses a separate comparator for each digital level of the signal, i.e., using 2 N - 1 comparator, where N is the number of bits. By executing 2 N - 1 parallel comparison, N-bit analog-to-digital conversion can be completed in a single clock cycle. The accuracy requirements of each comparator in terms of noise and offset also increase exponentially with N. Although fast, it is therefore often difficult to achieve sufficient resolution for wireless systems, and power consumption is often high. To ensure efficient use of the implemented 2 N - 1 comparator, the noise (and offset) level is designed to be signi...
