  • Publication number: 20130257564
    Abstract: An interposer element in a multidimensional integrated circuit with stacked elements has one or more conductors, especially power supply lines, coupled through decoupling networks defining low impedance shunts for high frequency signals to ground. The interposer has successive tiers including silicon, metal and dielectric deposition layers. The decoupling network for a conductor has at least one and preferably two reactive transmission lines. A transmission line has an inductor in series with the conductor and parallel capacitances at the inductor terminals. The inductors are formed by traces in spaced metal deposition layers forming coil windings and through vias connecting between layers to permit conductor crossovers. The capacitances are formed by MOScaps in the interposer layers. An embodiment has serially coupled coils with capacitances at the input, output and junction between the coils, wherein the coils are magnetically coupled to form a transformer.

    Abstract: A low power consumption analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided. The switched capacitor circuit and the operational amplifier of the pipelined stage within the present low power consumption ADC are designed to close loop, and the operational amplifier is operated at the incomplete settling of the linear settling, namely, the operational amplifier is not operated at the slew state. Therefore, the pipelined stage would not produce signal dependent distortion, such that the gain error produced by the operational amplifier could be seen as a constant gain error.
