ABSTRACT:
A high performance, low power analog to digital converter is designed in BIFET technology utilizing the high gain, high performance of a bipolar comparator and the low power of a CMOS latch and CMOS encoding logic circuits. Using a FET dynamic latch, metastability is avoided, significantly reducing soft error rate.
