A 4GS/s, 8.45 ENOB and 5.7fJ/conversion, digital assisted, sampling system in 45nm CMOS SOI
Abstract
A 4GS/s sampling system achieved 8.45-ENOB linearity with 5.7fJ/conversion energy efficiency at 1V power supply and its gain can be adjusted in a digital manner. The measured IIP3 and IIP2 are 17.7dBm and 40dBm respectively. The ENOB of the sampler shows no degradation up to Nyquist frequency. An integrated phase rotator allows digital clock delay and duty cycle adjustment with sub-picosecond resolution. The sampling system tracks and settles in 1/4UI (62.5ps). Realized in a 45nm SOI CMOS the active area of the sampler is only 0.2×0.2mm2. © 2011 IEEE.
