An 8 bit current-made folding and interpolation analog to digital conv
erter(ADC) with three-level folding amplifiers is proposed in this pay
er. A current-mode three-level folding amplifier is employed not only
to reduce the number of reference current sources, but also to decreas
e a power dissipation within the ADC. The designed ADC fabricated by a
0.8 mu m n-well CMOS double metal/single poly process occupies the ch
ip area of 2.2mm x 1.6mm. The experimental result shows the power diss
ipation of 33.6 mW with a power supply of 5 V.
