Design of Low Power Resistor Less Flash ADC for UWB Receiver Applications
Abstract: In this paper, two designs of flash analog to digital converters (ADCs) based on threshold inverter quantization (TIQ) technique are presented. The parallel threshold inverter quantization (PTIQ) flash ADC exploits the advantage of reduction in capacitance and power consumption if the transistors are placed in parallel. Another design called low voltage tunable body bias (LVTBB) PTIQ ADC operates at near threshold voltage level to minimize the power consumption. The PTIQ …
