Abstract
Fully digital analog to digital converters (FD-ADC) have potential applications in very low power ICs and can be implemented in digital CMOS technology. In this paper the non-linearity of the delay element (DE), which is the main building block in an FD-ADC, is discussed and its impact on the overall performance of the ADC is addressed. It is shown that the non-linearity of the delay element should be within certain limits in order to achieve the best signal to noise plus distortion ratio (SNDR). Also, a new current starved delay element with enhanced linearity is proposed. Using the proposed DE, the SNDR of a 6-bit FD-ADC is improved by 7dB.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
