Abstract This paper presents a new structure for designing a pipeline analog-to-digital convertor with a speed of 100 MS/s, based on TSMC 0.18 µm CMOS technology. With this structure, we extracted primary bits from the input signal directly in the first block and sampling was also conducted in the same time. In this new structure that it used for Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) implementation, the first 3 bits are extracted simultaneously with sampling. The simulation results show that, the signal-to-noise ratio for a 10 MHz input is 54.4 dB and the total power consumption with power supply of 1.8 v is 19.7 mW. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes two new wideband common-mode noise suppression filters based on a defected ground structure. The first design uses the Butterworth equivalent circuit achieving a fractional bandwidth of 117 %. At first, the resonators are arranged next to each other and the equivalent circuit is extracted. Also, samples with different dimensions of resonators are prepared by electromagnetic simulation analysis, and the fuzzy interpolation method is used for estimating the circuit behavior. The ADS software is used to optimize the values of the variables to achieve the desired bandwidth in the schematic environment. This paper utilizes the Taguchi method to strike a balance between various parameters in the filter design, aiming to minimize errors during the fabrication process. Then, the new values estimated with the fuzzy interpolation method are verified by electromagnetic simulation. The fractional bandwidth of the filter increases to 124 %, and noise can be suppressed by more than 10 dB at the center frequency of 21.45 GHz in the range from 8.1 to 34.8 GHz, with a loss of less than 3 dB in the differential lines. A new equivalent circuit is proposed using the first-order Chebyshev model. It is observed that the electromagnetic simulations and circuit modeling have good agreement with the measurements. Moreover, the eye pattern with a speed rate of 21.45 Gb/s is proposed for USB 3.2 and HDMI 2.0 applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
