Abstract
Threshold Inverter Quantizer (TIQ) is an innovative idea in the construction of flash ADC, which can effectively replace the reference voltage circuit, resistive or capacitive voltage divider and differential comparator array in a conventional flash ADC by an internal reference comparator array made of CMOS inverters. The inverter switching voltage serving as the internal reference voltage, this architecture offers large improvements in chip area, power consumption and operating speed of the ADC. Variations of the inverter switching voltage due to its sensitivity to operating temperature and process variations causes imperfections in this ADC designs. This paper presents the thermal dependencies TIQ based flash ADC architecture. The complete circuit is modelled in cadence virtuoso simulation suite with gpdk 180 nm design library.
