Abstract
A behavioral model of a 1.8-V, 6-bit flash analog-to-digital converter has been developed based on device parameters using the g(m)/I-d methodology. T his approach eliminates the need for recharacterization of blocks when devi ce sizes are changed. Furthermore, the performance can be predicted with in put only from device and process simulators eliminating the need for a circ uit simulator and associated model parameters. signal to noise plus distort ion ratio and differential and integral nonlinearity are predicted and veri fied at lower resolution with a circuit simulator.
