Abstract
A low-power (∼400mW) high-speed (2-4GS/s) 4-bit Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) based on InP/InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) has been designed and simulated. The technology utilised two novel developments. Firstly stoichiometric conditions permitted growth at a relatively low temperature (42°C) while conserving extremely high-quality materials. Secondly dimeric phosphorus generated from a gallium phosphide (GaP) decomposition source has lead to excellent device properties. The complete ADC shows state-of-the-art performance and includes an interface for connection to standard Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems whilst dissipating only 40OmW. © 2008 IEEE.
