contents In this work, a 3.5 GS/s voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using multi-stage noise shaping (MASH) is presented. This 28nm CMOS ADC achieves second-order noise shaping in an easily-scalable, open-loop configuration. A key enabler of the high-bandwidth MASH VCO ADC is the use of a multi-bit estimated error signal. With an OSR of 16, an SNDR of 67 dB and DR of 68 dB are achieved in 109.375 MHz bandwidth. The full-custom pseudo-analog circuits consume 9 mW, while the automatically generated digital circuits consume another 24 mW. A $\mathbf{FoM_{DR} = 163}$ dB and core area of $\mathbf{0.017\,\mathbf{mm}^2}$ are obtained.
