| Popis: | The search for high speed, high bandwidth A/D converters is ongoing, and techniques to push the envelope are constantly being developed. In this paper an open loop, scalable, time-interleaved ADC architecture is presented, as well as a 60 GHz Colpitts oscillator. With the use of double-sampling, the timing skew requirements between channels is greatly relaxed, allowing sampling rates of up to 40 Gs/s at 4-bits of accuracy. This circuit is implemented using the IBM 8HP SiGe technology, with fT of 210 GHz. The performance of the 8HP ADC is validated by measurement. In addition, simulations with an experimental 8XP transistor model provided by IBM with a 350 GHz fT suggest that 30% more circuit speed is possible by just swapping the transistors. |
