A 2GS/s 11b 8x Interleaved ADC with 9.2 ENOB and 69.9dB SFDR in 28nm CMOS.

A 2GS/s 11b 8x-interleaved ADC is presented where flipped-voltage-follower-based reference buffers attenuate channel interactions and a set of on-chip background digital calibrations mitigate channel mismatches. A high-linearity input buffer is included which does not degrade ADC performances. Implemented in a 28nm CMOS technology, the ADC achieves 57.3dB SNDR and 69.9dB SFDR close to the Nyquist frequency. The interleaved ADC maintains (within 1.2 dB) the same SNDR level of the individual channel over the 1GHz input bandwidth.
