초록

This paper describes a High-Speed 8-bit Current-Mode BiCMOS A/D Converter. The characteristics of this A/D Converter are as fellows. First, as ADC is operating in current-mode we can obtain the properties of increase of converting speed, low noise, and wideband. Second, the properties of high switching speed in bipolar transistor and of high packing density, low power consumption in MOS trnsistor are combined. Finally we reduce chip area by designing it with subranging mode and improve the converting speed by performing subtraction directly, which doesn't need D/A convertings, using current switching element. This converter is composed of two 4-bit ADC, current soure array which provides signal and reference current, current comparator and encoding network.
