  • 本論文中討論以TSMC 1P6M 0.18 μm CMOS製程,實現一個十位元、每秒兩百萬次取樣時間之逐漸逼近式類比數位轉換器,以及90 nm 八位元、每秒八千萬次取樣頻率之時間交錯技術逐漸逼近式類比數位轉換器。十位元類比數位轉換器中的數位類比轉換器為了有較高的準確度,使用二進位加權電容陣列。取樣保持電路包含靴帶式電路以提升電路效能。兩級的動態比較器有較佳的電壓偏移,以及不需額外偏壓電路,可節省功率消耗。此外,十位元類比數位轉換器時脈訊號為取樣頻率的20倍,八位元類比數位轉換器時脈訊號即為取樣頻率。
    經由HSPICE和SpectreRF輔助設計軟體驗證結果,0.18 μm十位元以及90 nm 八位元逐漸逼近式類比數位轉換器被實現,其中下線的十位元晶片有量測結果。在供應電壓為1 伏特下,量測差分非線性度及積分非線性度為 0.97 LSB和2.23 LSB。當輸入訊號為200 kHz下,其量測所得有效位元為8.12-bit,本晶片面積包含ESD PADs為0.7 mm2,整體電路功率消耗為126 μW。


    In this thesis, a 10-bit 2-MS/s Successive Approximation Register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) implemented in TSMC double-poly six metal (1P6M) 0.18-μm CMOS technology and a 90 nm 8-bit 80-MS/s time-interleaved (TI) SAR ADC are introduced. The digital-to-analog converter (DAC) of the 10-bit SAR ADC is accomplished by charge redistribution binary weighted capacitor array based on its accuracy. The track-and-hold (T/H) circuit includes bootstrapped circuit improving T/H performance. The comparator structure is a two-stage dynamic comparator which helps reduce offset voltage and has no external biasing voltage so that low power consumption is achieved. For the 10-bit ADC, an external frequency which is 20 times the frequency of the 2 MHz sampling rate is needed. For the 8-bit TI SAR ADC, the clock frequency is the sampling rate.
    The SAR ADCs are simulated by HSPICE and SpectreRF. The 10-bit ADC is taped out by TSMC excluding the 8-bit 90 nm ADC. The measurement results of differential and integral nonlinearity of the 10-bit ADC are within 0.97/-0.86 LSB (Least Significant Bit) and 1.63/-2.23 LSB respectively at full sampling rate. The measurement results show effective number of bit (ENOB) of 8.12-bit with sampling frequency of 2 MHz at input frequency close to 200k Hz. The chip area including ESD (electrostatic discharge) pads is 0.7 mm2. Power consumption of this ADC is 126 μW with 1 V supply voltage.
