Information about several papers discussed during the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) held on February 2007 in San Francisco, California is presented. It highlights discussions about the recent applications of analog-to-digital converters (ADC), as well as its newest upgrades. It includes the introduction of a successive approximation register (SAR) ADC for applications down to 4.2 Kelvin. Moreover, ADC designers revealed advances in dynamic range and power consumption.

The article reports that Rambus Inc. will reveal a technique for delivering Input/Output with power rates of 2.2 milli-watts per gigabit per second, at the 2007 International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, California. In its prepared paper, Rambus Inc. will describe a 6-Gbit/second serializer/deserializer transceiver at 2.2 mW/Gbit/s in 90-nanometer process technology. The company believes that the technology would achieve power reduction and would deliver high performance.
