MDAC for Pipeline ADC - Timing Analysis - Part 2
Nov 28th, 2018, 5:00pm
 
Hello,

I am examing this MDAC for a Pipeline ADC and am confused about the style of the notation on the schematic in terms of the switches.

What do they mean ?

The switches say VDD/GND and P2D and P1D.

Does that mean set that point to VDD at P2D and GND at P1D ?

How would I do this ?

Thank you.

If I had to guess, I'm guessing P1d means the switch has Vdd on it (which probably means on). P2d means the switch has Gnd on it (which probably means off).

VDD and GND are the supply and ground of the switches. If it is a simple transmission gate it means that the bulks are connected to VDD and GND for PMOS and NMOS respectively.
The MDAC essentially works with two non-overlapping clocks and their delayed version.
P1 and P2 are the non-overlapping clocks.
P1D is the delayed version of P1.
P2D is the delayed version of P2.

Hope it's a good guess!
