With the world today moving towards increased safety concerns, automobile technology is trying to match pace by methods which we commonly refer to as “active safety”. The active safety measures are ...

Imec has introduced a 7-bit, 175GS/s massively time-interleaved slope-ADC, implemented in 5 nm FinFET technology. The device combines a record-small core area ...

At IEEE ISSCC 2026, imec introduces a 7-bit, 175GS/s wireline ADC implemented in 5nm FinFET technology, combining a record-small footprint (250 x 250µm²) and low conversion energy (2.2 pJ per sample).

Commercial time-interleaved ADCs have been available since the early 2000’s. Since then the number of academic and industry-sponsored articles showing the advantages of interleaving has been steadily ...

Power-sensitive applications such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) require a comprehensive power savings strategy within the system-on-chip (SoC). Techniques relying solely on the use of traditional power ...

Analog to digital converters have three key input ports along with data output ports as per digital resolution requirements. These inputs ports are Analog Signal, Reference and Clock. If we compare ...

Functionality of ADC/DACs, their performance characteristics, and how they have been improved. Advantages, disadvantages, and applications of various ADC/DAC architectures. How ADC/DACs are used in ...

Meeting the demanding performance requirements of today’s system-on-a-chip (SoC) applications, whether in high-data-rate telecom systems or high-quality audio and video equipment, requires extensive ...

Imec has developed a compact, highly linear 3.2 giga-sample-per-second (GSps) RF-sampling ADC that uses ring amplification (ringamp). The ADC has a record low power consumption of 61.3mW and supports ...

Precision signal chain designers are challenged to meet noise performance demands in medium bandwidth applications and often end up making a trade-off between noise performance and accuracy. Achieving ...
