A power and resolution adaptive flash analog-to-digital converter

Abstract: A new power and resolution adaptive flash ADC, named PRA-ADC, is proposed. The PRA-ADC enables exponential power reduction with linear resolution reduction. Unused parallel voltage comparators are switched to standby mode. The voltage comparators consume only the leakage power during the standby mode. The PRA-ADC, capable of operating at 5-bit, 6-bit, 7-bit, and 8-bit precision, dissipates 69 mW at 5-bit and 435 mW at 8-bit. The PRA-ADC was designed and simulated with 0.18 µm CMOS technology. The PRA-ADC desig… Show more

“…Thus the flash ADC is made reconfigurable to be used both as the UWB ADC, and in the multibit quantizer in the BT Σ∆ ADC. The idea of reconfiguration in flash ADCs has previously been proposed in [9], [10].…”
