ABSTRACT
The digital processing signal is one of the subdivisions of the analog digital converter interface; data transfer rate in
modern telecommunications is a critical parameter. The greatest feature of parallel conversion rate (4-bit parallel Flash
5/s converter) is designed and modeled in 0.18 micron CMOS technology. Low speed swing operation as analog and
digital circuits leads to high speed of low power operation power with 70 mVt 1.8 V A/D converter from the power
dissipated during operation in the 5 GHz range. Average offset is used to minimize the effect of the bias of a compara-
tor. This paper contains the 8-bit encoder of the metrical term code to direct binary code decreasing power consumption,
which is shown by results and comparison with other designs using computer simulation. The results of the flash ADC
time-interleaved are a more significant improvement in terms of power and areas than those previously reported.

1. Introduction
Digital communication tools with high data rate, high
speed broadband, radar and optical communications, these
applications require 4 to 6 bit resolution at rates of 1 GHz
or beyond.
Several papers have been published previously in the
4-bit Flash ADC [1]. The multi-GHz A/D sampling rate
is achieved by using interleaved time architecture.
Because of the gain and offset of the inconsistencies
among the various channels of ADC time-interleaved
architecture usually requires numerical methods [2].
These calibrations scheme to significantly increase the
power and/or Flash ADC area. The proposed architecture
5/s speed is achieved based on low swing in full opera-
tion of the ADC. Two stages on average bias resistor
give relations in 3.65.
Thus no digital calibration is required, encoding to
significant savings in power and scope.
Resistor ladder generates tap voltage 21 voltage refer-
ences from two clean 0.9 V and 1.6 V. 21 multi-stage
comparators, including 15 major and over-3 range com-
parators on each end of the array, compare the input sig-
nal voltage from the crane and generate code thermome-
ter. Finally, the current encoder mode logic (CML)
translates the code with binary thermometer through the
intermediate gray code [3,4].
No external track and hold (t/h) is used in the ADC.
Instead, the sample is distributed in the first latch com-
parator array.
2. Comparator Array
Preamplifier an array is a regenerative latch that operates
as a distributed monitor and keep, and two additional
tabs are available to achieve further enhancement and
differential swing low level in the comparators’ output
[5]. No hours available for preamp which gives a con-
tinuous signal to the first latch. Shows the schematic of
the preamplifier to Figure 1.

operating frequency. So to implement an efficient sche-
me of piping, it is desirable to have some delays at all
stages [6].
Diagram of the encoder is shown in Figure 2 and de-
veloped in accordance with prudent use of a minimum
number of components, which reduces the space occu-
pied by the on-chip. MOSFETs-substrate transistors with
n-channel T1, T4 and T5 are connected to the negative rail
power supply Vss, and the substrate p-MOSFETs with
channel T2, T3 and T6 to the positive rail Vdd [7].
Encoder (Figure 2) consists of two CMOS—keys on
the basis of transistors T1, T2 and T5, T6, which are con-
trolled by the voltage at the input X1; Y0 determines the
MSB output binary code. Input X1 comes from the output
of the comparator switching threshold which corresponds
to the middle of the two-digit range input ADC. Keys at
the same switching voltage X0 and X2 from the outputs of
the other two comparators to generate low-order output
Y1 binary ADC. Based on the proposed scheme can be
implemented three-bit encoder, where a block with two-
digit designation DEC encoder according Proceeding si-
milarly, we obtain a four-digit encoder circuit based on
the three-digit encoder [8]. This requires the use of two-
input multiplexers labeled MUX, Figure 3 shows its’
scheme. Substrate MOSFET with n-channel T2, T4, T5,
T6, T8 and T10 are connected to the negative rail power
supply Vss, and the substrate MOSFETs p-channel T1, T3,
T7 and T9—to the positive rail Vdd. The multiplexer is a
signal at the address input A. When the signal at input A,
equal logical unit, the output signal from the input D1,
and when the signal A, equal to a logical zero, with input
D2. Inverters based on transistors T7 - T10 are the buffer
elements. Thus, increasing the bit similar to Figure 3.

4. Conclusion
The paper proposed a circuit solution to thermometric
encoder code in straight binary code. Eight-circuit simu-
lation performed in CAD Cadence Virtuoso for 180 nm
CMOS technology with a unipolar voltage 1.8 V. Maxi-
mumly delayed time-shift is about 1 ns, which allows the
use of the scheme in the processing of signals with a fre-
quency of 1 GHz along with existing analogues. Average
power consumption does not exceed 500 mW. All else
being equal to a gain on the power consumption in com-
parison, the known digital calibration can be added to
implement ultra-high-speed time-interleaved ADCs to 40
times. The reduction in the number of comparators ar-
chitecture makes it useful in portable ECG systems which
operate at low voltage and low frequency range.
