Pipelined architecture analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have become the architecture of choice for high speed and moderate to high resolution devices. Subsequently, different techniques of the fault diagnosis by built in self-test (BIST) system have been developed. This book gives a rigorous, theoretical and mathematical analysis for the design of pipelined ADCs, along with detailed practical aspects of implementing it in very large-scale integration (VLSI). In each chapter a unique fault diagnosis technique for pipelined ADC has been proposed. Chapter 1 discusses a 1.8V 10-bit 500 mega samples-per-second parallel pipelined ADC, describing the design of high speed, low power, low voltage ADC in CMOS technology. Chapter 2 introduces a BIST system where both the circuit and its diagnosis tool are implemented on the same chip. Chapter 3 examines the design of an oscillation-based BIST system for a 1.8V 8-bit 125-mega samples per second pipelined ADC. Chapter 4 focuses on the evaluation of dynamic parameters of a pipelined ADC with an oscillation-based BIST. Chapter 5 covers reconfigurable BIST architecture for pipelined ADCs. The book is an ideal reference for graduate students and researchers within electrical, electronics and computer engineering.
