Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) ADC based on level-cross detection quantizes time rather than voltage. When the clock frequency is doubled, SNR of ADC improves 3dB whereas that of level-crossing ADC improves 6dB. Therefore, level-crossing ADC benefits more from fine time resolution in scaled technologies.
A stochastic comparator that drives multiple comparators in parallel is proposed to improve both voltage and time resolutions by utilizing stochastic nature of offset and noise whose impact is increasing through process miniaturization.
In this paper, we analyze the resolution of level cross detection method based on a stochastic comparator and formulate its performance. We show that the level cross detection exhibits finer resolution compared to that uses the single comparator with the same total area of comparators.
