This article demonstrates a digitally friendly time-based analog-to-digital converter (ADC) exploiting Dickson charge-pump (CP) as part of a voltage-to-time conversion (VTC) implemented in 28-nm CMOS. In the proposed technique. the Dickson CP generates a ramp signal that is compared with the input voltage to generate a pulse of commensurable widths. which is then fed to a D-type flip-... https://www.roneverhart.com/Swordback-Hold-Europe-Ladder/
