Level-crossing (LC) ADCs are superior choices for digitizing sparse input signals, which have short bursts of activity followed by long periods of silence. Monitored by a continuous-time (CT) comparator, the input signal is only processed after crossing a predefined voltage. This event-driven working scheme results in concentrated conversions solely during active periods, significantly reducing po...Show More

In recent years, Gigahertz-rate oversampled CT DSMs have been consistently explored to pursue a larger bandwidth (BW) [1] –[4]. Note that the usable oversampling ratio (OSR) is seriously limited (i.e. below 10) in those works owing to the restrained clock rate. A low OSR results in poor quantization efficiency, thus limiting the achievable dynamic range (DR). In such an ultra-low-OSR context, mult...Show More
