Application of Circuit Enhancement Techniques to ADC Building Blocks
In the first section of this chapter, a 1.5-bit flash quantizer is proposed. This fully differential flash quantizer has built-in thresholds, made possible by employing inverter structures as input devices. Self-biasing techniques are employed for enhance

Preface
More and more signal processing is being transferred to the digital domain to profit from the technological enhancement of digital circuits. Where technology scaling enhances the capabilities of digital circuits, it degrades the performance of analog circuits. However, it is important to note that the impact that technology scaling has on digital circuits is becomi
