connected between inverters, and the
accuracy was improved drastically.
Furthermore, power consumption was
lowered due to the reduced number of
inverters. Figure 5 displays the transition
of the conversion energy of videorate
10-bit ADC.
Until then, the conversion energy
of bipolar ADCs and CMOS ADCs
was antagonistic, and CMOS was
not necessarily low power. However,
compared to previous ADCs, this
ADC achieved a decisive low power

of one eighth. Afterward, all development
of video-rate ADCs began using
CMOS technology. By the way, the
figure of merit (FoM), that currently
represents the energy efficiency of
ADCs, is said to have been devised
by a technical journal to show that
this ADC has both high speed and
low power consumption.

When ADCs became possible with
CMOS, IC technology evolved in the
direction of realizing low power and
low cost of the whole system by integrating
with digital circuits. This
began the evolution of the mixedsignal
system on a chip (SoC).
Figure 6 illustrates early-stage,
large-scale integramixed-signal

(LSI) for a handy digital camcorder.
It was developed for handy
camcorders using digital signal
processing, as shown in Figure 7(a)
and (b). An 8-bit CPU for controlling
the system, a low-speed ADC and
digital-analog converter (DAC),
digital filter for image processing,
and video-rate ADC and DAC are
integrated in the chip [8], [9]. The
digital circuits are used for image
stabilization, color correction,
and auto focus. Thus, low-power
operation and reduced cost of ICs,
including ADCs, are required for
portable equipment. CMOS ADCs
and low-power, mixed-signal LSI
became key technologies for portable
video equipment.
