Abstract :
The authors report the design of a new current-mode A/D converter, based on a modified successive-approximations model, in 1.2 μm CMOS technology. The proposed circuit is characterised by good accuracy and fast dynamic performance, low power consumption and small occupation area. SPICE simulations allow the design approach to be validated and the electrical performance of the ADC to be predicted
