The Compact High Order Thermometer Code Generator is designed to offer a versatile solution for generating high bit-count thermometric codes. It accommodates bit counts ranging from 256 to 4096 and can be further extended. Depending on application needs, the IP can be configured for low power or high-speed operations, providing flexible performance options for various digital signal processing tasks.
Engineered on TSMC’s 28HPC technology, it has a maximum operational capacity of 1 Gbps and a typical rate of 100 MHz, with energy consumption pegged at 200 µA. This makes it a power-efficient solution for high-throughput environments. The design allows for customizable configurations, supporting CMOS signaling and offering both current source and sink per bit, or the option to combine these into a single current output.
Adaptable and easy to integrate, this generator addresses a wide array of needs in areas such as digital communications and data conversion tasks. Its compact design makes it highly portable, allowing seamless incorporation into larger systems where space and power efficiency are paramount.
