members, "A/D Converter Circuit
and Architecture Design for HighSpeed Data Communication" was
conducted.
Although the tutorial was conducted in the evening, it still
attracted 73 SSCS members from
different parts of Singapore, as the
topic was relevant and timely. For
modern electrical and optical communication systems with advanced
modulation schemes, there exists
a pressing need for power efficient
A/D converters operating at high
sampling rate. Within this context,
this tutorial addressed the relevant
circuit‐ and architecture‐level design
techniques for high‐speed CMOS A/D
converters. At the circuit level, fundamental challenges in the design
of track‐and‐hold circuits and voltage comparators were presented.
At the architecture level, tradeoffs
in the design of time‐-
interleaved
SAR and flash converters as well as
techniques for the estimation, system level budgeting, and calibration of circuit imperfections were
discussed.

	

retiming, unfolding, folding, systolic architecture design, and
algorithmic transformations were
introduced.  The emphasis was on
