It is no secret that analog engineers have struggled with complexity when designing power supplies that require multiple outputs, coordinated load sharing, hot-swap capability, or extensive fault ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The current technology trend for Analog-to- Digital Converters (ADCs) is particularly keen on power reduction, together with high-speed performance. The goal of the paper is to demonstrate that both ...

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).

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 ...
