Fundamental limits on energy efficiency performance of VCO-based ADCs

In systems constrained by battery power or scavenged energy limits, ADC energy efficiency as expressed by the fJ/step figure-of-merit is a critical design driver. This paper describes a time-domain approach to determine the fundamental limit on ADC performance for techniques such as VCO-based ADCs which perform the ADC function in the time domain.
