Modular Low-Power, High-Speed CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converter of Embedded Systems

One of the main trends of microelectronics is toward design for integrated systems, i.e., system—on—a—chip (SoC) or system—on—silicon (SoS). Due to this development, design techniques for mixed—signal circuits become more important than before. Among other devices, analog—to—digital and digital—to—analog converters are the two bridges between the analog and the digital worlds. Besides, low—power design technique is one of the main issues for embedded systems, especially for hand—held applic...
