12-bit, 8 GSPS High Performance ADC in 16nm CMOS

Overview

The ODT-ADS-12B8G-16 is an ultra highperformance time-interleaved ADC designed in a 16nm CMOS process.

This 12-bit, 8GSPS ADC supports input signals up to 3.0 GHz and features a differential fullscale range of 0.8Vpp and excellent static and dynamic performance.

The ADC architecture is optimized to maximize performance while minimizing power and area consumption. The ADC input is internally buffered and then distributed to timeinterleaved ADC channels.

The ADC includes built in calibration to remove time interleaving artifacts, including offset mismatch, gain mismatch and timing skew.

To maximize SNR, the ADC includes an ultralow-jitter clock distribution network with aperture jitter of 50fsrms.
