Abstract :
An automated method to derive the statistical parameters of the building blocks of A/D-converters is presented. This method is applied to an 8-bit full flash A/D-converter. The statistical model is used to simulate INL and DNL and explore statistical effects that cannot be captured in closed expressions. A speedup in simulation times of over 100 is reported compared to device-level simulations
