Abstract
In this paper, an 8-bit CMOS current-mode folding-interpolating ADC is presented. A new
active averaging-interpolating network is described, which results in a better error correction
factor compared to its resistive counterpart. Using novel circuits for fast settling and careful
transistor sizing, a fast (>160 Msps) and low power (70 mW in 2.5 V supply voltage) 8-bit
ADC, with a total chip area of 1 1:4 mm in a 0.25 micron CMOS process, is demonstrated.
