Abstract:
This paper presents a differential operational amplifier used in a continuous-time 8-bit folding analog-todigital converter. The clock-less architecture is composed of 8 identical stages with 1 bit/stage. The circuit is designed in a 350nm CMOS process with a supply voltage of 3.3 V. Simulation results show that, with this operational amplifier, the 8-bit clock-less ADC can achieve a Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio of 53 dB. The ADC has a power consumption of 5.51 mW.
