Abstract

The performance of Flash Analog-to-Digital converter is greatly influenced by the choice of Comparator and Thermometer-to- Binary encoder design. The work describes the design and pre-simulation of a , 3bit and an 4bit analog to digital converter for low power CMOS. It requires 2N-1 comparators, an encoder to convert thermometer code to binary code. The design is simulated in cadence environment using spectre simulator under 90nm technology. The pre simulation results for the design shows a low power dissipation of 87uw for the comparator and 1. 05mW and 1. 984mW power dissipation for 3-bit and 4-bit Flash ADC respectively. The circuit operates with an input frequency of 25MHz and 1. 5V supply with a conversion time of 2. 162ns and 6. 182ns for 3-bit and 4-bit ADC respectively.
