This paper describes the design and implementation of a Low Power 3-bit flash Analog to Digital converter (ADC). It includes 7 comparators and one thermometer to binary encoder. It is implemented in 0.18um CMOS Technology. The presimulation of ADC is done in T-Spice and post layout simulation is done in Microwind3.1. The response time of the comparator equal to 6.82ns and for Flash ADC as 18.77ns.The Simulated result shoes the power consumption in Flash ADC as is 36.273mw .The chip area is for Flash ADC is 1044um2 .

After seeing the technological evolution, we have understood about the A/D converter that it is the meeting point of the analog to digital domains. As technology is being continuously scaled down, the transistor sizes have decreased drastically resulting in reduced area and power consumption in the digital domain. The successive approximation ADC is best suitable for low power applications with moderate speed and simple design. Here, the implementation of 32-bit pipelined analog-to-digital converter with the help of successive approximation register based Sub-ADC. The SAR ADC architectures are popular for achieving high energy efficiency and low power applications. But they suffer from resolution and speed limitation. To overcome the speed limitations of SAR ADC, we proposed the implementation of 90nm using CMOS technology of a low power, high speed pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The capacitive digital-to-analog converter (DAC), two stage CMOS comparator with output inverter of proposed ADC are lower than those of a conventional ADC. To achieve low power and to minimize the size of the input sampling capacitance in order to ease durability.
