Abstract

A practical integrated 1.5-bit MDAC is introduced which can be used in a pipeline ADC to improve its performances. The MDAC is implemented in a full differential switch-capacitor circuit, which includes a gain-boost amplifier, boot-strapped switches, and pre-amplifying latching comparators. Because of the elaborate design, the MDAC can tolerate the offset of the comparators as high as 1/2LSB with respect to the current stage. The simulated results show that the MDAC achieves a sampling rate of 200MHz with SNR of 76dB and SFDR of 81dB, while consuming only 10.1mW.
