6-bit, 20 GSPS Flash ADC - GlobalFoundries GF22FDX

Overview

The A6B20G is a low-power, high-speed analog to digital converter (ADC) intellectual property (IP) design block. It is a FLASH-type ADC, with 6-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 20 giga samples per second (GSPS).

The ADC core has the highest bandwidth currently available, with a layout area of only 210 um x 470 um. It is a unique solution that provides an extremely high sampling rate, with a very low power consumption of only 331 mW.

It is the only IP core in this sampling rate class that is available with a high-speed input buffer, track and hold stage, and encoder -based full data rate output interface.

The cost-effective IP block has been designed and verified for the GF22FDX fabrication process with FDSOI technology to provide superior performance/power specifications.
