Dickson-Charge-Pump-Based Voltage-to-Time Conversion for Time-Based ADCs in 28-nm CMOS
This article demonstrates a digitally friendly time-based analog-to-digital converter (ADC) exploiting Dickson charge-pump (CP) as part of a voltage-to-time conversion (VTC) implemented in 28-nm CMOS.In the proposed technique, the Dickson CP generates a ramp signal that is compared with the input click here voltage to generate a pulse of commensura
