- Abstract:
- The paper is devoted to the methods of analysis of a new class of “intelligent” pipeline A/D converters (IP ADC). The conversion scheme used in IP ADC is based on the original approach to optimisation of adaptive estimation systems. Its application to the pipeline A/D converters design enables to improve their characteristics but requires changes in their architecture and principles of conversion. The paper focuses on the modelling and analysis of dependence of IP ADC performance on the parameters of their analogue components and conversion algorithm. The models, methods and simulation tools, proposed and presented in the paper, enable efficient analysis of particularities of IP ADC work and definition of the most appropriate parameters of main components of the converter. They also enable assessment of the expected performance of IP ADC and its comparison with performance of known pipeline A/D converters. The results of selected simulation experiments are presented and discussed in the paper. The presented approach can be used at the initial stages of IP ADC design for effective choice of suitable architecture and parameters of the internal components of IP ADC.
