报告简介：

Although analog-to-digital converters have existed for more than 70 years, new ADC techniques continue to emerge. ADC architectures are evolving to deliver higher performance and also to take advantage of improved process performance. This presentation will discuss new ADC architectures and new applications. A noise-shaping scheme shapes comparator noise and quantization noise in a SAR ADC.  A new ring amplifier structure improves the resilience and efficiency of the ring amplifier architecture.  SAR-assisted pipeline ADCs achieve record energy efficiency. A highly reconfigurable radio is based on a filtering SAR ADC. Novel ADCs are an integral part of a brain-machine interface chip for treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

The second part of the presentation will discuss how to write and submit a paper for the IEEE Journal of Solid State Circuits.
