Abstract

This paper describes the design and performance of a mixed signal, very high speed, analog-to-digital converter implemented using gallium arsenide MESFET technology for software radio applications. The design is module oriented, thus enabling easy cascading into a multi-bit chip. The four-bit circuit dissipates 185.6 miliwatts of power and has a conversion time of 0.75 nsec. The results validate the design technology and techniques used for mixed analog-digital circuit design on a single chip
