He said the application of MIMO technology to consumer wireless communications has arisen only recently, as
exemplified by 802.11n/ac and LTE/
LTE-A standards. A few baseband IC
design examples showed how digital
IC technology can enable ubiquitous
high-speed wireless communications.
The starting point of "Energy Efficient SAR-Type ADC Design: Trends
and Design Considerations," by Prof.
Seng-Pan U (Ben) was the domination
by SAR-type ADCs of large segments
of high-speed and energy efficient
ADCs that have efficiencies down
to fJ/conversion step at 100-MHz+
sampling rate. After summarizing
the state of the art of high-energyefficient ADCs, Prof. U surveyed ADC
trends in energy, speed, and noise
analysis for various architectures
including SAR and binary-search,
multibit SAR, flash SAR, pipeline SAR,
time-interleaved, and others, ending
with a thorough update on recent
advances through June 2014.
