ADC can be divided into two major groups

1.Nyquist Rate ADC
2.Oversampling ADC

Nyquist Rate ADC

Oversampling ADC
Oversampling ADC converter can also be
called Sigma-Delta ADC converter. It uses
the idea of Oversampling frequency
technology to improve the Signal to Noise
Ratio, then to increase the resolution.

Objective
To design the low power ,high speed folded
cascode amplifier with the gain boosting
amplifier for ADC.

2. Cascoded op amp
Limits the output

3.Folded cascode OTA

Higher output swing

than telescopic
amplifier

4.Regulated gain boosting

amplifier

It is the current
voltage feedback
topology

5. Two stage op amp

Output swing is
more, but speed is
less

Proposed Architecture
For high speed ADC we
need the high output
swing and high
bandwidth.
The auxiliary amplifier
used is the folded
cascode amplifier.

Conclusion
The different architecture of Operational Amplifier
Topology is presented. We found that for high
speed ADC we need a high gain ,high output
swing OTA. We choose the folded cascode
amplifier which provides the high gain and high
output swing. To enhance the gain without
affecting the swing we go for the gain boosting
amplifier.
