  • 近年來,由於製程和無線通訊方面的快速發展,速度和功率的需求越來越重,在速度上的考量,快閃式類比數位轉換器無疑是最優先的選擇,但是快閃式類比數位轉換器的面積和功率會隨著解析度而成倍數的成長,所以無法達到高解析度的設計。因此,一個具有高速、高解析度、低功率消耗的類比數位轉換器是許多人的研究目標。然而在現實上的考量,僅能依據不同的需求設計具有高速、高解析度或是低功率消耗的類比數位轉換器。這些高傳輸率的系統,包含DVD 讀取通道、多準位接收器、通道等化器或乙太網路都需要類比數位轉換器。
    本論文即是採用一個新型的架構,在犧牲一點速度的情況下,發表一種藉由開關切換在不同的參考電壓間做比較以達到低功率需求,在N位元快閃式類比數位轉換器中將(2N-1)-to-N編碼器使用兩個(2N/2-1)-to-(N/2)取代完成編碼中的MSB與LSB.而比較器僅使用60個.在此架構下,電路的複雜度都大幅的減低,此架構提供了另外一種更好的選擇。

    Recently, the growing development of the process and handheld wireless terminals cause the demand of speed and power more important. Flash analog-to-digital converter is undoubtedly the major choice for high speed application but areas and power consumption are doubled with each bit of increased resolution. Therefore, Flash ADC is not suitable to high-resolution application. Consequently, an analog-to-digital converter having high speed, low power and high resolution is many people’s objectives. In fact, we can only design a analog-to-digital converter which having high speed, low power or high resolution according to different demands. The high-bit-rate applications include DVD read channel, multi level receiver, channel equalizer, and Ethernet need Analog-to-Digital Converters.

    In this thesis, we proposed a novel structure in case of sacrificing some speed. The power and areas are saved by efficiently switching between different voltage levels. This proposed N-bit flash ADC replaces the encoder with two encoders to accomplish the encoding of the least significant bits and the most significant bits, the comparator 60 uses only.
    In this structure, the complexity of the encoders is also decreased greatly. This new architecture makes a better candidate。
