创新点1:采用逆变器和亚飞法拉级开关电容(电路创新)。该设计摒弃传统电流导向架构,利用FinFET技术优势,通过逆变器和超小电容(sub-femtofarad)实现高密度集成,面积仅0.03 mm²,显著降低芯片面积。
创新点2:基于并行电荷重分配架构(系统创新)。通过并行电荷分配机制提升转换速度至28 GS/s,同时支持8位分辨率,在首奈奎斯特区实现SFDR≥37 dB和IM3≤-45.6 dBc的高线性度性能。
创新点3:分离电平生成、脉冲定时和输出功率生成(架构创新)。模块化设计将关键功能解耦,优化时序控制精度(0.8V单电源供电)与输出摆幅(0.32Vpp差分),功耗控制在88 mW。
创新点4:2×时间交织技术(时序创新)。通过双通道交织采样提升有效采样率,同时利用16nm FinFET工艺特性降低时钟偏差影响,确保高频信号完整性。
Abstract
This article presents a compact 2× time-interleaved switched-capacitor (SC) digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for digital-intensive transmitter architectures. To minimize area and to leverage the strengths of FinFET technology, the implementa- tion departs from the traditional current steering approach and consists mainly of inverters and sub-femtofarad SCs. The DAC’s architecture is based on parallel charge redistribution and sepa- rates level generation, pulse timing, and output power generation. The described 28-GS/s 8-bit prototype design occupies 0.03 mm 2 in 16-nm CMOS and supports up to 0.32-V pp signal swing across its differential 100- /Omega1load. It achieves an SFDR ≥37 dB and an IM3 ≤− 45.6 dBc across the first Nyquist zone while consuming 88 mW from a single 0.8-V supply.
