Hi,
I am designing an 10 Bit Pipeline ADC. The power can be scaled down by scaling the unit capacitance in each stage. The major limiting factors in choosing the unit capacitance are;
1. Thermal Noise
2. Yield ( Mismatch between capacitors in IC with respect to area)
I have considered the thermal noise factor in my design. Yet to think about the "yield" factor dependency on limiting the unit capacitance. Please anyone suggest or give a pointer where can I get enough information about this. I am not looking for the exact value which is only available with Foundry. I need an approximate estimation of this mismatch to calculate the unit capacitance value.
Thanks,
Jebas.
