Prasad Rao and K. Lal Kishore}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Pipeline ADCs are becoming popular at high speeds and with high resolution. This paper discusses the options of number of bits/stage conversion techniques in pipelined ADCs and their effect on Area, Speed, Power Dissipation and Linearity. The basic building blocks like op-amp, Sample and Hold Circuit, sub converter, DAC, Residue Amplifier used in every stage is assumed to be identical. The sub converters use flash architectures. The design is implemented using 0.18}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {2}, year = {2012}, pages = {211 - 217}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9288}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/62}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 62, 2012}, }
