A/D Converter

Analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are any system’s most important circuit blocks. The more we push for digitized systems, the importance of ADC increases. As the universe is analog, we need low-power ADC techniques for sensors, communication devices, and other devices. At present, we are focused on developing low-power flash ADCs. We aim to eliminate the energy waste required to deal with device mismatch by inventing fully on-chip digital calibration techniques. With the scaling of transistor dimensions, flash ADCs are expected to be used in a wide range of applications. Our research is creating the path toward that realization.
