Design of Low Power High Speed 4-Bit TIQ Based CMOS Flash ADCAman JanGra
The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is an essential part of systemon-
chip (SoC) products because it bridges the gap between the analog physical
world and the digital logical world. In the digital domain, low power and low
voltage requirements are becoming more important issues as the channel length
of MOSFET shrinks below 0.25 sub-micron values. SoC trends force ADCs to
be integrated on the chip with other digital circuits. These trends present new
challenges in ADC circuit design. This paper investigates high speed, low
power, and low voltage CMOS flash ADCs for SoC applications.

Electrically small antennas: The art of miniaturizationEditor IJARCET
We are living in the technological era, were we preferred to have the portable devices rather than unmovable devices. We are isolating our self rom the wires and we are becoming the habitual of wireless world what makes the device portable? I guess physical dimensions (mechanical) of that particular device, but along with this the electrical dimension is of the device is also of great importance. Reducing the physical dimension of the antenna would result in the small antenna but not electrically small antenna. We have different definition for the electrically small antenna but the one which is most appropriate is, where k is the wave number and is equal to and a is the radius of the imaginary sphere circumscribing the maximum dimension of the antenna. As the present day electronic devices progress to diminish in size, technocrats have become increasingly concentrated on electrically small antenna (ESA) designs to reduce the size of the antenna in the overall electronics system. Researchers in many fields, including RF and Microwave, biomedical technology and national intelligence, can benefit from electrically small antennas as long as the performance of the designed ESA meets the system requirement.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Abstract— Power consumption is one of the main design
constraints in today ICs. For systems that are powered by
small non rechargeable batteries over the entire life time,
such as medical implant devices ultra low power
consumption is important. In these systems ADCs are key
components to interface between analog world and digital
domain. This project is going to address the design
challenges and strategies of low power ADCs for biomedical
implant devices.
Index Terms— DAC, Low Power, SAR ADC, Biomedical
applications
I. INTRODUCTION
Analog to Digital Converters are important building
blocks in lots of applications. In past few years, more and
more applications are built with very stringent requirements
on power consumption. For electronic systems, such as
wireless systems or implantable devices, the power
consumption is becoming one of the most critical factors. The
stringent requirements on the energy consumption increase
the need for the development of low voltage and low power
circuit techniques and system building blocks.
Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) translate the
analog quantities into digital language, used in information
processing, computing, data transmission and control
systems. ADCs are key components for the design of power
limited systems, in order to keep the power consumption as
low as possible. Implantable Medical electronics, such as
Pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators are typical examples of
devices where ultra-low-power consumption is paramount
.The implanted units rely on a small non rechargeable battery
to sustain a lifespan of upto10years.
The life time of the artificial pacemakers should last
up to 10 years which mandate low power consumption per
operation. The analog to digital converter is the crucial part of
an implantable pacemaker since it consumes a large amount
of power as the interface between sensed analog signal and
digital signal processor block.
Low power ADCs with moderate resolution and low
sampling frequency is suited for biomedical application.
These specifications make SAR ADC the suitable choice. It
consumes low power due to its simple structure. Moreover,
SAR ADC is scalable with the technology scaling since most
parts of the architecture apart from the comparator are digital.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows; one
biomedical device Pace Maker operation is explained in
Section II. The SAR ADC architecture operation is explained
in Section III….
II. PACEMAKER OPERATION
Pacemakers directly control the pattern and speed of
the heartbeat. When the heart stops beating or it beats too
slowly, pacemaker provides weak electrical signals with
approximately 70 beats per minute to correct the timing of the
heart beat. This medical device contains a battery, a generator
and pacing leads. The leads connect the pacemaker to the
heart and stimulate the heart with the pulses generated in
pacemaker. Battery and generator are inside a titanium
container which is placed inside the body.
Figure shows the block diagram of a pacemaker. The main
blocks fall into four parts
1) At the input, there are sensing system, amplifier, filter, and
analog to digital converter.
2) The digital output of the ADC is fed to the logic block.
This consists of a programmable logic, timing control system
and therapy algorithms.
3) Current and voltage reference generator and battery power
management.
4) At the output of the pacemaker, high voltage pulse
generator and multiplier exist.

III. SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION ADC
This section describes different components of SAR ADC
architecture. The main components of SAR ADC are a
Sample and Hold, a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), a
Comparator and a SAR Logic.
Fig 2: Sample & Hold
A. Sample & Hold
The Sample & Hold uses a capacitor and an analog switch to
connect or isolate the capacitor from the input. An
operational amplifier connected as follower avoids the effects
of the load. The amplifier can be powered down in order to
reduce the power consumption when the circuit is in the
standby mode.
The most basic form of the sample and hold circuit combines
a switch and a capacitor, the operation of the circuit as
follows. In sampling mode the switch is “on”, creating the
signal path that allows the capacitor to track an input voltage.
When the switch is “off” an open circuit is created that
isolates the capacitor from the input, hence changing the
circuit from sampling mode into holding mode.
B) Digital to Analog Converter
The Digital to Analog Converter has a resolution of 8 bits.
The converter has been divided into two 4 bits D/A
converters to reduce the total area. Each block can be
powered down independently to reduce the power
consumption.
In this architecture we are using R-2R ladder network DAC.
The advantage of the R-2R ladder method is only two values
of resistors are used greatly simplifying the task of matching
or trimming and temperature tracking. Since the output of the
R-2R DAC is the product of the reference voltage & digital
input word, the R-2R ladder DAC is often called as MDAC.
C) Comparator
The comparator is an essential part in the SAR ADC to
perform the binary search algorithm. Comparator in the SAR
ADC takes more power consumption than the other blocks. A
comparator generates a logic output high or low based on the
comparison of the analog input with a reference voltage.
In an ideal comparator, with infinite gain, for input
voltages higher than the reference voltage, the comparator
outputs logical one and for the input voltages lower than the
reference voltage it produces zero at the output.
D) SAR LOGIC
Successive Approximation Register (SAR) control
logic determines each bit successively. The SA register
contains N bit for an N-bit ADC. There are 3 possibilities for
each bit, it can be set to ‘1’, reset to ‘0’ or keeps its value. In
the first step, MSB is set to ‘1’ and other bits are reset to ‘0’,
the digital word is converted to the analog value through
DAC. The analog signal at the output of the DAC is inserted
to the input of the comparator and is compared to the
sampled input.
Based on the comparator result, the SAR controller
defines the MSB value. If the input is higher than the output
of the DAC, the MSB remains at ‘1’, otherwise it is reset to
‘0’. The rest of bits are determined in the same manner. In the
last cycle, the converted digital word is stored. Therefore, an
N-bit SAR ADC takes N+1 clock cycles to perform a
conversion.
Successive approximation register ADC implements the
binary search algorithm using SAR control logic.
In general, there are mainly two fundamentally different
approaches to designing the SAR logic. The first one which is
proposed by Anderson consists of a ring counter and a shift
register. At least 2N flip flops are employed in this kind of
SAR. The other, which is proposed by Rossi, contains N flip
flops and some combinational logic.

IV. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
A) Sample & Hold
In below figure voltage follower is placed after the
capacitor in order to avoid the loading effect on the capacitor.
The S/H operation is conceptually illustrated by the circuit
shown. The opening and closing of the switch or sampler is
controlled by a sample command (i.e., clock).
Fig 3: Design Of Sample & Hold
When the switch is closed (clk=‘1’), the capacitor C charges
that is samples and tracks the input signal. When the switch
opened (clk=’0’), the output is held at the voltage that the
capacitor is charged to at Vo, until the next sampling pulse
arrives (clk=’1’). The time interval during which the sampler
is closed is called the sampling duration period P.

B) Comparator
A comparator generates a logic output high or low based on
the comparison of the analog input with a reference voltage.
The comparator in the SAR ADC takes more power
consumption than other blocks. In SAR ADC we must design
comparator such that it consumes very less power.

In the below Figure ‘In-‘given to the -ve terminal and the In+
given to the +ve terminal of comparator, when In+ > In- the
output is Out (5 volts) and 0 volts when In+ < In-.

C) SAR Logic
This control logic encompasses a ring counter and a code
register. The ring counter is in fact a shift register. In each
clock cycle, one of the outputs in the ring counter sets a Flip
Flop in the code register. The output of this Flip Flop which
is set by the ring counter is used as the clock signal for the

previous Flip Flop. At rising edge of the clock, this Flip Flop
loads the result from the comparator.
Fig 7: SAR logic
The Flip Flops which are employed in this structure are
set-reset D-FFs. For low power purpose, transmission gate
based Flip Flops are used . Minimum size transistors with
double length are chosen for improving the power
performance.

Fig 10: Waveforms of SAR ADC
The power consumption of this ADC mainly
depends upon the performance of the comparator. The power
consumption of the other components such as SAR LOGIC,
DAC and D- Flip Flops are negligible.
As the D-Flip Flops and SAR logic are the digital
components they consume less power compared to analog
ones. Also R-2R DAC consumes less power compared to
comparator during the process
V. CONCLUSION
A successive approximation ADC is suitable for operation
at ultra low supply voltage is realized in a 0.13um CMOS
technology using standard threshold CMOS devices and
avoiding the bootstrapping techniques. This SAR ADC is
well suited for biomedical applications such as Pacemaker,
MRI and EEGs.
