With the world today moving towards increased safety concerns, automobile technology is trying to match pace by methods which we commonly refer to as “active safety”. The active safety measures are ...

Commercial time-interleaved ADCs have been available since the early 2000’s. Since then the number of academic and industry-sponsored articles showing the advantages of interleaving has been steadily ...

At IEEE ISSCC 2026, imec introduces a 7-bit, 175GS/s wireline ADC implemented in 5nm FinFET technology, combining a record-small footprint (250 x 250µm²) and low conversion energy (2.2 pJ per sample).

Power-sensitive applications such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) require a comprehensive power savings strategy within the system-on-chip (SoC). Techniques relying solely on the use of traditional power ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Modern telecommunications applications like 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems as well as forthcoming 5G systems use ...

The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is a key component in digital communications receive channels, and the correct choice of ADC is critical for optimizing system design. In this article, we discuss ...

Meeting the demanding performance requirements of today’s system-on-a-chip (SoC) applications, whether in high-data-rate telecom systems or high-quality audio and video equipment, requires extensive ...

Imec has developed a compact, highly linear 3.2 giga-sample-per-second (GSps) RF-sampling ADC that uses ring amplification (ringamp). The ADC has a record low power consumption of 61.3mW and supports ...

Precision signal chain designers are challenged to meet noise performance demands in medium bandwidth applications and often end up making a trade-off between noise performance and accuracy. Achieving ...
