Abstract :
Digitalization of mixed-signal functionality, digital enhancement, all digital approach, and digital assistance are buzzwords in modern RF, analog and mixed-signal design. Based on a review of pipeline analog-to-digital converters, digital phase locked loops, time-to-digital converters and ADCs based on time quantization the meaning, the ideas, and the strategy behind these words are analyzed and discussed.
