Abstract

Purpose

In parallel sampling method, the size of the sampling capacitor is reduced to improve the bandwidth of the ADC.

Design/methodology/approach

Various low-power techniques for 10-bit 200MS/s pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are presented. This work comprises two techniques including parallel sampling and switched op-amp sharing technique.

Findings

This paper aims to study the effect of parallel sampling and switched op-amp sharing techniques on power consumption in pipelined ADC. In switched op-amp sharing technique, the numbers of op-amps used in the stages are reduced. Because of the reduction in the size of capacitors in parallel sampling technique and op-amps in the switched op-amp sharing technique, the power consumption of the proposed pipelined ADC is reduced to a greater extent.

Originality/value

Simulated the 10-bit 200MS/s pipelined ADC with complementary metal oxide semiconductor process and the simulation results shows a maximum differential non-linearity of +0.31/−0.31 LSB and the maximum integral non-linearity (of +0.74/−0.74 LSB with 62.9 dB SFDR, 55.90 dB SNDR and ENOB of 8.99 bits, respectively, for 18mW power consumption with the supply voltage of 1.8 V.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this work is to reduce the power consumption of KSA and to improve the PDP for data path applications. In digital Very Large – Scale Integration systems, the addition of two numbers is one of the essential functions. This arithmetic function is used in the modern digital signal processors and microprocessors. The operating speed of these processors depends on the computation of the arithmetic function. The speed computation block for most of the datapath elements was adders. In this paper, the Kogge–Stone adder (KSA) is designed using XOR, AND and proposed OR gates. The proposed OR gate has less power consumption due to the less number of transistors. In arithmetic logic circuit power, delay and power delay products (PDP) are considered as the important parameters. The delays reported for the proposed OR gate are less when compared with the conventional Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) OR gate and pre-existing logic styles. The proposed circuits are optimized in terms of power, delay and PDP. To analyze the performance of KSA, extensive Cadence Virtuoso simulations are used. From the simulation results based on 45 nm CMOS process, it was observed that the proposed design has obtained 688.3 nW of power consumption, 0.81 ns of delay and 0.55 fJ of PDP at 1.1 V.

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper, a new circuit for OR gate is proposed. The KSA is designed using XOR, AND and proposed OR gates.

Findings

The proposed OR gate has less power consumption due to the less number of transistors. The delays reported for the proposed OR gate are less when compared with the conventional CMOS OR gate and pre-existing logic styles. The proposed circuits are optimized in terms of power, delay and PDP.

Originality/value

In arithmetic logic circuit power, delay and PDP are considered as the important parameters. In this paper, a new circuit for OR gate is proposed. The power consumption of the designed KSA using the proposed OR gate is very less when compared with the conventional KSA. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed KSA are improved and suitable for high speed applications.
