A 10-b 20-Msample/s analog-to-digital converter

A 10-b 20-Msample/s analog-to-digital converter fabricated in a 0.9- mu m CMOS technology is described. The converter uses a pipelined nine-stage architecture with fully differential analog circuits and achieves a signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) of 60 dB with a full-scale sinusoidal input at 5 MHz. It occupies a 8.7 mm/sup 2/ and dissipates 240 mW. >
