Continuous-time (CT) ADCs are widely employed in wireless communication and radar systems requiring broad bandwidth and moderate resolution, due to their system-level power efficiency advantages. To meet the required bandwidth range (100 MHz–1 GHz), both CT-MASH and CT-Pipeline architectures have been proposed. In this seminar, a systematic comparison between these two architectures is presented. Through behavioral-level simulations and comprehensive modeling of power consumption (both digital and analog), this study aims to identify the bandwidth boundary at which each architecture becomes more suitable. Additionally, performance metrics beyond the conventional figure-of-merit (FoM) are also considered and analyzed.
