Ruiz J. Device-Level Modeling and Synthesis...Pipeline ADCs 2011

Textbook in PDF format

In this monograph, a thorough design methodology for ADCs, and more specifically pipeline converters, will be presented. The main motivations for this book are that: (1) on the one hand, pipeline converters cover a wide field of broadband applications such as Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), Power Line Communications (PLC) orVery high bit-rateDigital Subscriber Line (VDSL) communications and (2) their inner structure is complex, comprising very accurate Switched-Capacitor (SC) circuits, other sub-ADC topologies such as flash architectures, digital circuits, numerous auxiliary building blocks and a meticulous timing. These two reasons make a design methodology for pipeline converters even more attractive and necessary
