A low power, small die size 14-bit 125 MSPS pipelined ADC is presented. Switched capacitor pipelined ADC architecture is chosen for the 14-bit ADC. In order to achieve low power and compact die size, the sample and hold amplifier is removed, the 4.5-bit sub-stage circuit is used in the first pipelined stage. The capacitor down scaling technique is introduced, and the current mode serial transmitter is used. A modified miller compensation technique is used in the operation amplifiers in the pipelined sub-stage circuits, which offers a large bandwidth without additional current consumption. A 1.75 Gbps transmitter is introduced to drive the digital output code, which only needs 2 output pins. The ADC is fabricated in O. 18 μm 1.8 V 1P5M CMOS technology. The test resuhs show that the 14-bit 125 MSPS ADC achieves the SNR of 72.5 dBFS and SFDR of 83. 1 dB, with 10. 1 MHz input at full sampling speed, while consumes the power consumption of 241 mW and occupies an area of 1.3 mm × 4 mm.
