چکیده
In this paper, we present a low power 12 bit 5 MSPS, successive approximation converter architecture using pipeline technique. The converter consumes 4 mW at the Nyquist rate input with 1.8 V power supply. By combination of pipeline and successive architecture, the entire circuit, simulated at the transistor level in a 0.18 μ CMOS process, achieves a FoM (Figure of Merit) of 0.19 pJ/conversion.

متن کاملUnderstanding SAR ADCs - AN1080
Successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are frequently the architecture of choice for medium-to-high-resolution applications with sample rates under 5 megasamples per second (Msps). SAR ADCs most commonly range in resolution from 8 to 16 bits and provide low power consumption as well as a small form factor. This combination makes them ideal for a wide variety...

متن کاملComparison of Total Dose Responses on High Resolution
High-speed and high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are critical devices for space electronic systems. Analog Devices’s bipolar technology 12-bit A/D converter, AD574A, was proven to withstand up to 100 krad(Si) [1], but excessive power consumption limits its applications in many new high-speed and low-power system designs. Several other commercial 12-bit successive approximation ...
