Just like many other semiconductor components, High Speed Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) do not always perform perfectly, despite our best expectations. They have inherent limitations that permit ...
Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...
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).
