15.8 90dB-SFDR 14b 500MS/S BiCMOS switched-current pipelined ADC

Wireless infrastructure imposes increasingly stringent requirements on data converters. To enable base stations with multi-carrier functionality, ADCs in the receive path need high sample rates with superior SFDR across 100s of MHz and several decades of input signal power. Furthermore, as the number of antennas increase, higher ADC integration is required to minimize board area, complexity, and cost.
