This project presents the design of a 5-bit encoder intended for use with a 208 MHz ADC, targeting a power consumption of approximately 120 mW. The work involves a comprehensive introduction to the encoding theory, an overview of background information, and an analysis of previous works in the field. Through employing a Fat-Tree-Encoder design optimized for fewer logic levels and gates, the project showcases improvements in speed and efficiency over earlier methodologies. Key components such as DRC, LVS reports, and simulation outcomes are detailed, culminating in lessons learned throughout the project.

Abstract • Designed a 5-bit encoder with an area of 482x126 mm2 that will be used to operate a 208 MHz ADC and a power of ~120mW
Introduction • Purpose • To be used to design a 5-bit ADC for EE 198 Senior Project • Using 5-bit Fat-Tree-Encoder • Alternate design option for future EE166 students ( NOR-NOR-NAND vs. OR-OR-OR, INV-AOI-XOR-OR-OR) • Improvement • NOR-NOR-NAND for less logic level and less gates
Previous Work • 2003 Gonzales, et al. Encoder for 6-bit A/D • 2004 Fatimah, et al. Encoding Logic for 5-bit Analog to Digital Converter without Sample and Hold
Encoding of 31 input thermo-code into 5 bit binary number Project Summary Table 1 – Example of 3-bit Conversion • Improvements • Fat-Tree-Encoder composed of NOR and NAND instead of OR and INV gates • Faster than previous projects
