The a/d converter structure is composed of three 2.5 bit stages and one 3 bit stage operating in current mode and a final comparator which converts the analog current signal into a digital voltage signal. All the building blocks of the converter were designed in CMOS AMS 0.35 μm technology, simulated, and then a prototype converter was manufactured and measured to verify the proposed concept. The performances of the converter are compared to performances of known voltage-mode switched-capacitance and current-mode switched-current converter structures. Low power consumption and small chip area are the advantages of the proposed converter ER -
