Fastest ADC – Flash ADC
Fastest conversion rate No need to S&H if dynamic
comparators are used.
2N-1 comparators Dynamic Power Dissipation Variabilities across comparators
and resistors
Heavy loading of input and clock
drivers
Sensitivity to skew between
comparator clocks
Offset compensation methods
(at input or output of comparator)

Effect of mismatches and process variations Example Example N = 6 bits , VFS=1.2V Maximum|∆R/R| for two adjacent resistors = 1% Reference point for resistor variation: Center of resistive ladder. Objectives
- DNL and INL values corresponding to every code.
- Maximum acceptable Vos,in of comparators
Details are given in lecture notes. Students will draw the nonlinearity plots.

Two-Step or Subranging ADC
Gain = 2N/2
No. of Comparators = 2(2N/2-1) + DAC comparator
and compared to flash ADC
Relaxed resolution at the input of comparators More latency but similar throughput
All components should be at least 8-bit accurate!
