In this paper, a 6-bit 100-MS/s fully-digital time-based analog-to-digital converter (T-ADC) is proposed. The proposed structure uses a new bulk-driven structure for the required delay element circuits that not only presents a highly-linear voltage-to-delay characteristic, but also reduces the power consumption of the converter. Moreover, the proposed structure utilizes a new switching technique to reduce the complexity of the circuit. In addition, since the output laches of the converter are removed in the proposed T-ADC, the power consumption and the occupied area of the proposed circuit are reduced compared with the conventional structure. The proposed fully-digital T-ADC has been designed and implemented in a 0.13-mu m CMOS process with a supply voltage of 1.2 V. Post-layout simulation results show that the proposed ADC archives an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 5.22 bits at the cost of 380 mu W power consumption. The silicon area occupied by the proposed circuit is 200 mu mx45 mu m that is reduced by 75% compared with the conventional counterpart.
