Fischer 08 1 Analog to Digital Converters Nyquist-Rate ADCs  Flash ADCs  Sub-Ranging ADCs  Folding ADCs  Pipelined ADCs  Successive Approximation (Algorithmic) ADCs  Integrating (serial) ADCs Oversampling ADCs  Delta-Sigma based ADCs

Fischer 08 2 Conversion Principles

Fischer 08 3 ADC Architectures  Flash ADCs: High speed, but large area and high power dissipation. Suitable for low-medium resolution (6-10 bit).  Sub-Ranging ADCs: Require exponentially fewer comparators than Flash ADCs. Hence, they consume less silicon area and less power.  Pipelined ADCs: Medium-high resolution with good speed. The trade- offs are latency and power.  Successive Approximation ADCs: Moderate speed with medium- high resolution (8-14 bit). Compact implementation.  Integrating ADCs or Ramp ADCs: Low speed but high resolution. Simple circuitry.  Delta-Sigma based ADCs: Moderate bandwidth due to oversampling, but very high resolution thanks to oversampling and noise shaping.

Fischer ADC Testing Types of Tests  Static Testing  Dynamic Testing  In static testing, the input varies slowly to reveal the actual code transitions.  Yields INL, DNL, Gain and Offset Error.  Dynamic testing shows the response of the circuit to rapidly changing signals. This reveals settling errors and other dynamic effects such as inter-modulation products, clock-feed-trough, etc. Circuit Under Test Output Input Clock

Fischer Performance Metrics 1 Error Types  Offset  Gain  DNL  INL  Missing Codes IDEAL ADC Static Errors

Fischer Performance Metrics 2 Frequency Domain Characterization Ideal n-Bit ADC: SNR = 6.02 x n [dB] fsig Amplitude

Fischer ADC Error Sources Static Errors  Element or Ratio Mismatches  Finite Op-amp Gain  Op-amp & Comparator Offsets  Deviations of Reference Dynamic Errors  Finite (Amplifier) Bandwidth  Op-amp & Comparator Slew Rate  Clock Feed-through  Noise (Resistors, Op-amps, switched Capacitors)  Intermodulation Products (Signal and Clock)

Fischer Static Testing Servo-loop Technique  Comparator, integrator, and ADC under test are in negative feedback loop to determine the analog signal level required for every digital code transition.  Integrator output represents equivalent analog value of digital output.  Transition values are used to generate input/output characteristic of ADC, which reveals static errors like Offset, Gain, DNL and INL.

Fischer Dynamic Testing Types of Dynamic Tests  Histogram or Code-Density Test  FFT Test  Sine Fitting Test Test Set-up

Fischer Histogram or Code-Density Test  DNL appears as deviation of bin height from ideal value.  Integral nonlinearity (INL) is cumulative sum (integral) of DNL.  Offset is manifested by a horizontal shift of curve.  Gain error shows as horizontal compression or decompression of curve.

Fischer Histogram Test Pros and Cons of Histogram Test  Histogram test provides information on each code transition.  DNL errors may be concealed due to random noise in circuit.  Input frequency must be selected carefully to avoid missing codes (f clk /f in must be non-integer ratio).  Input Swing is critical (cover full range)  Requires a large number of conversions (o 2 n x 1,000).

Fischer Simulated Histogram Test 8-Bit SA ADC with 0.5% Ratio Error and 5mV/V Comparator Offset

Fischer FFT Test Pros and Cons of FFT Test  Offers quantitative Information on output Noise, Signal- to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) and Harmonic Distortion (SNDR).  FFT test requires fewer conversions than histogram test.  Complete characterization requires multiple tests with various input frequencies.  Does not reveal actual code conversions
