Introduction: has a huge application in todays digitized world. In last few years the largest portion of electronics Flash converter is high speed converter among all industry is dominated by MOS market.

It becomes a other ADCs. It consists of 2N comparators that challenging to design analog circuit reducing its provide thermometer coded output which is feature sizes, supply voltages as well as transistor converted to a digital output by an encoder. In high channel length. Op amp can easily trade-off between speed ADCs comparator plays an important role for all performance parameters like gain, phase, phase high speed application using minimization margin, unity gain bandwidth etc.

The design can be techniques. The main disadvantage of flash type achieved handling various aspect ratios i. The design issues are related to gain, phase, gain This paper, is discussed on flash-type ADC and a bandwidth, resolution, speed,area and power novel design involving a new approach towards the dissipation.

Traditionally, a flash-type capacitance can be used as a high gain comparator. It ADC involves different components to design: can be easily operated at low power. It is simulated in comparators, resistors, logic gates. This paper nm technology using cadence virtuoso analog introduces a low-power OP-AMP modified from the design environment simulation.

The op-amp uses a traditional one, and an encoder employing cascaded 1. The analog output of each comparator is encoded using cascading full adder designed by pass transistor logic that makes the circuit more faster. Basic building blocks : Index terms: string of resistors, Two stage amplifier, Figure1. Flash ADC. After comparison, we noticed that the reference voltages of the first three comparators i. These outputs are the inputs of the priority encoder.

We can see that these reference voltages are seven in number so the 8th input line is connected to logic 1 and is given the least priority. It means that it is a descending order priority encoder. Hence the importance would be given to the higher priority outputs so the encoder generates an all-zero output. As three input lines of the encoder are high at the same time, priority will be given to the third input and a corresponding output binary code is generated.

This is the process through which a Flash analog to digital converter takes a continuous analog input and converts it into a binary output. For this ADC to be accurate, the input voltage must not vary otherwise it affects the output and produces errors. To tackle this, the Flash ADC is used in a combination with a sample and hold circuit. The respective circuit samples the input circuit and holds that sample circuit until the conversion is completed and the next signal arrives.

It is the optimized version of full flash ADC. The advantages of this configuration are that it requires less die area, less power consumption with the same resolution as the full flash ADC.

It is fed into the DAC which converts the signal back to the analog signal to be used as a reference voltage. Though it has some genuine advantages, this configuration has a slow conversion speed compared to the full flash ADCs.

In this paper, a conventional 3-Bit Flash ADC was designed and compared to a new design method using voltage division technique in arranging two resistors in series in place of the bit comparator required by the conventional Flash ADC architecture in order to combat the problem of circuit complexity and power consumption. The design and analysis reported in this paper was carried out using National Instruments Multism Keywords: ADC, new design, power consumption.
