Novel Digitally Assisted High-Speed High-Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters

Abstract

Future wireless data communications will need an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that can achieve high sampling rate of more than 100 MS/s as well as high resolution that has sufficiently low power consumption. This brief paper describes a novel digitally assisted ADC suitable for wireless data communications that has been verified by measuring a proof-of-concept chip.
