Abstract

A high-linearity input-buffer with high output common-mode stability for 10-bit 3.2 GS/s ADC is proposed in this Letter. The buffer is mainly composed of a source follower for strong driving ability. To enhance its linearity, a feed forward signal path from input to output is proposed. A replica buffer-based common-mode feedback is designed to achieve high output common-mode stabilisation of input-buffer. The prototype is implemented in 40 nm CMOS process. The output common-mode variation is reduced from 200 to 1 mV. Input-buffer consumes 96 mW in 3.2 GHz sampling rate and achieves 69.3 dB spur-free dynamic range at 1581 MHz input frequency.
