Engineering design requires balancing tradeoffs and limitations while dealing with real-world constraints, and deciding on the “best” balance for a given situation is a large part of the challenge.

Resolution, speed and power consumption are the three key parameters for an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and flash ADCs are the fastest type of ADC. In this paper, an effort is made to design ...

The right balance of CTLE circuitry and flash ADC sizes and number play a key role in minimizing ADC bits to achieve minimum area and power. The design of a state-of-the-art 112-gigabits-per-second ...

Don’t believe the hype. The digital revolution hasn’t conquered everything. We still need analog technologies to gather data and turn it into ones and zeroes, and the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) ...
