ADC Innovations for Improved Resolution, Power and Form Factor
ADC design is progressing rapidly over time thanks to innovations in architecture, circuit implementation, and technology scaling. For many emerging applications, for instance in the field of IoT or medical devices, converters with high resolution, low power consumption, and a small form factor are desired. In this tutorial-level presentation, we will explain the general trade-offs for these performance metrics, and we will highlight some of the recent developments that pushed the state-of-the-art forward. The talk will also give some insight into the challenges when embedding converters in an overall system.

BIOGRAPHY
Pieter Harpe (SM'15) received the MSc and PhD degrees from the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, in 2004 and 2010, respectively. In 2008, he started as researcher at Holst Centre / imec, The Netherlands, where he worked on ultra low-power wireless transceivers, with a focus on ADC research and design. In April 2011, he joined Eindhoven University of Technology where he is currently an Associate Professor and lead of the Resource Efficient Electronics Lab. His main activities are on low-power analog and mixed-signal circuits, for instance for biomedical applications, internet of things, and edge AI. Dr. Harpe is TPC member for ISSCC and A-SSCC, Associate Editor for TCAS-I, SSCS AdCom Member-at-Large and SSCS Distinguished Lecturer. He previously served as TPC member for ISSCC, TPC member and track chair for ESSCIRC/ESSERC and co-organizer for AACD, was an IEEE SSCS Distinguished Lecturer in 2016/2017, and is recipient of the ISSCC 2015 Distinguished Technical Paper Award.
