Abstract

We present a standard pipelined ADC design using Nauta structure differential op-amps as an alternative to traditional analog op-amps. The six stage pipelined ADC is capable of running at 100MS/s and achieves 8 bit resolution under simulations. The research is focused on the path to scaling to deep sub-micron CMOS and finding alternatives to the reduced gain and low output voltage swing of traditional analog op-amp designs. The Nauta structure op-amp allows us to produce one of the smallest reported areas for a 180nm pipelined ADC occupying only 0.3mm2 for a 10 bit 100MS/s pipelined ADC.
