Design of sample and hold for 16 bit 5 Ms/S pipeline analog to digital converter

This work presents the design and simulation of a low power CMOS Sample and Hold OTA for a 16bit, 5Ms/S pipelined ADC. The designing of high precision amplifiers is challenging in modern CMOS process. It drives ADC design methodology towards advance calibration approaches and compromised with low SNR. This paper deals with advance design techniques for High gain like triple cascode and achieves a DC gain of 132 dB and 68 MHz unity gain bandwidth with a phase margin of 88 degrees while driving the 16pf load of the first stage. Transient response of Charge Redistribution SHA shows settling accuracy of 15uV in 66 nanoseconds while consuming 20mW power. Switched capacitor CMFB has been implemented for the gain boosting amplifiers and main stage amplifier respectively. The design has been implemented in UMC 0.18μm technology. Design methodology for high gain and better settling performance at low power are also discussed in detail.
