MASTER’S PROJECT: A TAPERED CML BUFFER CHAIN DESIGN FOR A 1 GHz ADC

Was part of a team of five engineers designing a 6-bit interpolating flash ADC operating at 1 GHz. Responsible for the design and layout of the output driver for the ADC. The design process included weekly status reports to the team lead, an architectural design review (ADR), a preliminary design review (PDR) and a layout review.

Designed and simulated a Tapered CML Buffer Chain for the ADC.

Used Mentor Graphics Tool Design Architect for schematic capture and simulation.

Used the Mentor Graphics Tool IC Station for the circuit layout, DRC and LVS of the Tapered CML Buffer Chain.

Both a design review and a layout review were conducted by the instructor and team lead during the design process.

At the conclusion of the project a report discussing the design procedure, simulation results and layout of the tapered CML Buffer was submitted.

Published Project Report in Scholar Works technical database.
