A 10-bit pipelined ADC for high frame-rate video/image capturing instruments and systems

In this paper, a 10-bit pipelined ADC for high frame-rate video/image capturing instruments and systems is newly proposed. The proposed pipelined data converter is attractive due to that the requirements of high frame-rate video/image capturing instruments and systems are successfully matched. Based upon the device parameters of 0.25 ¿m 1P5M CMOS technology with 3.0 V power supply, all the functions and performance of the proposed pipelined data converter for high frame-rate video/image capturing instruments and systems are successfully tested and proven through SPICE simulations. The area of this fabricated chip is 1.99 × 1.65 mm
