Abstract

A multichannel low power analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed, fabricated and tested in 0.5-μm Silicon Germanium BiCMOS process is reported. The 12-bit ADC features 8 input channels, each having a 10-Ksps sampling rate and an input voltage range of 1.2 V. The ADC architecture, comprised of a ramp generator, comparators, and a Gray code counter, is discussed along with design details of the primary blocks. Measurement data shows a differential nonlinearity of less than 0.5 LSB and an approximate accuracy of 10 bits.
