How to start designing ADC ?

ADC Design

Hi to all,
I want to design ADC.
How do I start?Is using simulink for system level simulation necessary?

Re: ADC Design

1. Read Books: Analog Integrated Circuits Design by David & Martin.Get fundamental understanding of ADC.
2. Select ADC type, and find some papers on IEEE JSSC to try reference design.

System level simulation using Simulink or Verilog-A is necessary.

OK
Analog Integrated Circuits Design by David & Martin is the Bibble of the Anolog design.

Re: ADC Design

I think simulink system level simulation is necessary. It will help you to understand the theory about the ADC.

Re: ADC Design

I think you can try the simple structure of adc at the begining, such as flash adc,so you can understand the advanced structure well.

Re: ADC Design

u can start of by going through CMOS data Converters for communications.....but if u can actually decide on the specs of ADC then the first step would be to narrow down to a specific architecture....

System level simulation can help you with the architecture study.

But at the circuit level, you should consider many tradeoffs which based on the basic circuit knowledge.

I do not think so. You can download all the slides,homeworks and solutions freely. It's quit good.

Any way. Good a website for mix signal designer

Re: ADC Design

you can start from flash data converter.
