_________________________Desc ription
The X2113 “Megacell” contains two 6-bit flash ADCs and
associated reference and clock generation circuitry. The
comparator array in each ADC contains 63 identical dif-
ferential comparator and latch cells. The proprietary dif-
ferential architecture minimizes integral linearity error and
the occurrence of metastable states. The thermometer
code output of the comparator array is translated into
gray code using a fully differential wired-AND/wired-OR
scheme. This maximizes noise immunity. The gray code
is then converted to binary with a modified XOR array.
The reference generator applies a precision bandgap
signal to the differential ladder in the comparator array.
Additional circuitry is provided to adjust the half-scale
ladder voltage to the common-mode voltage of the dif-
ferential input signal.
A programmable divider allows the user to change
sample rate from a fixed external-clock oscillator.
