본 논문에서는 UXGA(Ultra extended Graphics Array)급 TFT LCD Driver를 지원하는 Analog Flat Panel Interface(AFPI)용 Module을 설계하였다. 제안하는 AFPI는 8-b ADC, 자동이득 제어기(AGC), 저잡음 PLL로 구성 되어있다. 8-b ADC는 고속동작과 저전력 기능을 위한 새로운 구조로서 FR(Folding Rate)이 8, NFB(Number of Folding Block)이 2, Interpolation rate이 16이며, 분산 Track and Hold구조를 사용하여 Sampling시 입력주파수를 낮추어 높은 SNDR을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 Gain과 Clamp을 통제 할 수 있는 Programmable한 AGC, 낮은 Jitter Noise PLL을 설계하였다. 제안된 Module은 0.2㎛, 1-Poly 5-Metal, n-well CMOS공정을 사용하여 제작되었으며, 유효 칩 면적은 3.6mm × 3.2mm이고 602㎽의 전력소모를 나타내었다. 입력 주파수는 10㎒, 샘플링 주파수 200㎒에서의 INL과 DNL은 ±1LSB 이내로 측정되었으며, SNDR은 43㏈로 측정되었다.
In this paper, an Analog Flat Panel interface(AFPI) which supports for UXGa(Ultar extended Graphics Array)-Compatible TFT LCD Driver is designed. The Proposed AFPI is composed of 8-b ADC, Automatic Gain Control(AGC), Low-Jitter PLL. In order to obtain a high speed and low power consumption, an efficient architecture of 8-bit ADC is proposed, whose FR(Folding Rate) is 8, NFB(Number of Folding Block) is 2, and IR (Interpolating Rate) is 16. We can get high SNDR by adopting distributed track and hold circuits. Also a programmable AGC which is possible to control gain and clamp, and a low-jitter PLL are proposed. The chip has been fabricated with 0.25${mu}{ extrm}{m}$ 1-poly S-metal n-well CMOS technology. The effective chip area is 3.6mm $ imes$ 3.2mm and it dissipates about 602㎽ at 2.5V power supply. The INL and DNL are within $pm$ 1LSB. The measured SNDR is about 43㏈, when the input frequency is 10MHz at 200MHz clock frequency.
