Abstract :
We present a new design methodology for high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) macros based on our original pipelined 10-bit ADC. With library re-use methodology and performance driven optimization techniques, we have been able to both shorten the design period and to meet application specifications for items such as speed and power consumption. Using this method, we have developed ADC macros from 10-bit to 8-bit and 6-bit. They can be embedded into system LSIs for communication and multimedia applications
