A 7bit 1.0Gsps Cascaded Folding ADC is presented. This ADC employs cascaded folding architecture with 3-degree folders. A new reset technique and layout shuffling enable the ADC to operate at high-speed with low power consumption. Implemented in a 90nm CMOS process technology the ADC consumes 230mW with 1.2V and 2.5V supplies and has a SNR of 38dB.
