This paper presents a novel architecture for capacitive sensor interfaces that is insensitive to electro magnetic interferers in hostile environments. A bridge structure, with a feedback control and a special band-pass filter, overcomes the problems that affect the standard appro

This paper presents the prototype of a single channel 8-bit 0.7-GS/s A/D converter implemented in a 65-nm CMOS process. The required thresholds are generated from the resistive interpolation embedded within the preamplifier preceding the latches. The active area of the chip is 15

Ultra high-speed comparators for data-converters operating with conversion rate of 10+ GS/s are discussed. It is shown that the use of nanometer technologies and specific architectures allow comparator speeds in the 30 ps range or below. State-of-the-art schemes of latch are crit

This paper presents a novel pipeline configuration for wireless applications. Redundancy and multi sampling of the input techniques are used for overcoming the main limitations of pipeline ADCs. A special pre-amplifier with built-in thresholds generation is also discussed. The ci

A feasibility study of an 8-bit fast converter is presented. The advantages and limits of conventional SAR architectures are discussed and, on the basis of that, a possible optimal architecture is proposed. It uses a 4+4-bit scheme with combination of the DAC outputs in the curre
