Abstract
This paper presents a 35-GS/s, 4-bit flash ADC-DAC
with active data and clock distribution trees. At mm-wave clock
frequencies, skew due to mismatch in the clock and data distribu-
tion paths is a significant challenge for both flash and time-inter-
leaved converter architectures. A full-rate front-end track and hold
amplifier (THA) may be used to reduce the effect of skew. How-
ever, it is found that the THA output must then be distributed to
the comparators with a bandwidth greater than the sampli
