Abstract
This paper presents a principle of parallel Analog To Digital Conversion (ADC) based on current mode HALF FLASH ADC. This circuit can be converted to 4-bit output at each moment, and multiple output bit numbers by serial connection. A current mode, the active current mirror and current comparators that controlled reference current by W/L ratio, has been used. Its feasibility agrees with simulation results of PSPICE program. The circuit design used CMOS 0.8 μm which is capable to convert 4 -bit in 50 nS, power consumed 0.127 mW, input current 0-100 μA and single 3V supply. From simulation testing, the conversion rate is faster than other method.
