  • Abstract
    An ultra-low voltage operation of 0.5 V, 5-bit Flash ADC has been developed and achieved an ENOB of 4.2-bit at a conversion rate of 600 MS/s. It consumes only 1.2 mW and attained an ultra-low FoM of 160 fJ/conv. steps at an ERBW of 200 MHz. A forward body bias technique and gate-interpolated double-tail latched comparator with variable delay method to compensate the mismatch voltage are introduced.
