摘要: A dither circuit for high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is presented, including a settable pseudorandom sequence generator, a trimming module, a trimmable digital-to-analog conversion circuit, a dither introduced circuit and a dither elimination circuit, wherein the settable pseudorandom sequence generator works to generate pseudorandom sequence signal uncorrelated to analog input signal and its output can be set, of which n bit output is taken as digital dither signal and n can be less than the quantization bit of the ADC; the trimming module works to determine the trimming signals for the trimmable digital-to-analog conversion circuit to convert the digital dither signal into analog dither signal precisely; the dither introduced circuit works to introduce the analog dither signal to the ADC; the dither elimination circuit works to remove the digital dither signal from the output of ADC. The dither circuit features less complexity and better dynamic performance for high-resolution ADC.

摘要: Provided in the present invention is a transconductance amplifier based on a self-biased cascode structure. The transconductance amplifier includes a self-biased cascode input-stage structure constituted by PMOS (P-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor) input transistors M1, M2, M3 and M4, a self-biased cascode first-stage load structure constituted by NMOS (N-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistors M5, M6, M7 and M8, a second-stage common-source amplifier structure constituted by an NMOS transistor M9 and a PMOS transistor M10, a bias circuit structure constituted by NMOS transistors M11 and M12 and a PMOS transistor M13, an amplifier compensation capacitor Cc, an amplifier load capacitor CL, a reference current source Iref and a PMOS transistor M0 that provides a constant current source function. Further provided in the present invention is a transconductance amplifier based on a self-biased cascode structure, which adopts an NMOS transistor as an input transistor. Both input transistors and load transistors of a first-stage amplifier of the present invention adopt self-biased cascode structures, such that the output impedance and the DC gain of the first-stage amplifier are increased. Substrate voltages of the MOS transistors of the first-stage amplifier are provided by an amplifier bias circuit. Owing to a connection mode of the compensation capacitor Cc, a higher figure of merit is achieved.

摘要: A high-speed low-power-consumption dynamic comparator includes a latch, an AND gate, a delay unit, and an XNOR gate. According to the high-speed low-power-consumption dynamic comparator, the output signal is generated through the XNOR gate from the comparator output signals Dp and Dn. The output signal and the control signal clk1 generate the control signal of the NMOS transistor P10 through the AND gate, so that the problem of static power consumption in a conventional comparator is solved.

摘要: A layout design method is provided for generating capacitor arrays being described in four steps: first, the wiring mode of unit capacitors is defined allowing the wire being connected to the upper plate to parallel that to the lower one, second, a capacitor array layout is designed with capacitors being distributed in Mh lines, Mh is the maximum of capacitors' lines, the line numbers of Class 1 to Class K capacitors are defined in the unilateral capacitor array, third, the wiring mode is set for capacitor array making sure the lengths of the wires to the upper and lower plates of unit capacitors are equal, at last, parasitic parameters are characterized in ways that verify the layout. A capacitor array is provided as well. By eliminating capacitance mismatching caused by parasitic capacitance, the method works to generate a well-matched capacitor array in an easy and efficient way.
