  • Abstract
    Recent trends for A/D converters are here presented. New applications and technology scaling are the main driving forces on next generation ADCs. Adaptive ADCs and ultra-low power ADCs are motivated by new demanding specifications. Technology scaling stimulates the time-domain versus voltage-domain ADCs. Furthermore, various techniques to eliminate the power hungry opamps are in progress.
