The first topic of this thesis proposes a 10-bit, 30 Msample/s pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) suitable for digital video broadcasting over handheld (DVB-H) systems. The ADC is based on the 1.5-bit-per-stage pipeline architecture. The proposed design is implement- ed by 0.18 um CMOS technology. The input range is 2 V peak-to-peak differential signals, and the post-layout simulation result shows that the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is 57.85 dBc with a full-scale sinusoidal input at 700 KHz. The maximum power consumption is 37 mW given a 3.3 V power supply. The core area is 0.27 mm2.
The second topic is to propose a fully mixed-voltage-tolerant I/O cell implemented using typical CMOS 2P4M 0.35 um process. Unlike traditional mixed-voltage-tolerant I/O cell, the proposed design can transmit and receive the digital signals with voltage levels of 5/3.3/1.8 V. By using stacked PMOS and stacked NMOS at the output stage and a voltage level converter providing appropriate control voltages for the gates of the stacked PMOS, the gate-oxide overstress and hot-carrier degradation are avoided. Moreover, gate-tracking and floating N-well circuits are used to remove the undesirable leakage current paths. The maximum transmitting speed of the proposed I/O cell is 103/120/84 Mbps for the supply voltage of I/O cell at 5/3.3/1.8 V, respectively, given the load of 20 pF.
