In this paper, we propose a new approach to thermometer-to-binary encoder of Flash ADCs. Instead of integrating bubble error correction circuit as previous approaches, proposed approach integrates a bubble error detection circuit. The advantage of this approach is that it can handle all types of bubble error whereas previous approaches often deal with first-order bubble error only. Simulation results show that the bubble error detection circuit consumes very little energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
