DESIGN OF HIGH-RESOLUTION (12-14 BIT) MULTI-CHIP CONVEYOR ADCS WITH 0.5-1 GHZ CONVERSION FREQUENCY
Low-voltage amplifiers of telescopic type based on CMOS technology with design norms of 180 nm and 60 nm are investigated. It is established that the best characteristics of nonlinearity in the frequency range up to 250 MHz have amplifiers manufactured by technology with design standards of 180 nm. It is shown that amplifiers of the folded CAS-code type with a supply voltage of 2.5-3 V and cascade transistors with maximum permissible interelectrode voltages of 1.2-1.8 V can degrade and even catastrophically fail when exposed to TKCH. Technical solutions for calibration of bias and gain equalization of channels in the creation of 4-channel 12-14-bit ADC with conversion frequency up to 1 GHz and 0.5 GHz are considered. It is shown that the multi-chip use of this type of ADC in the form of microassemblies allows to achieve typical values of integral nonlinearity, signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range.
