چکیده
This paper presents a Successive Approximation Register Analog-to-Digital Converter (SAR ADC) design for sensor applications. An energy-saving switching technique is proposed to achieve ultra low power consumption. The measured Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion Ratio (SNDR) of the ADC is 58.4 dB at 2 MS/s with an ultra-low power consumption of only 6.6 μW from a 0.8V supply, resulting in a Figure-Of-Merit (FOM) of 4.9 fJ/conversion-step. The prototype is fabricated in 65 nm CMOS technology with an area of 0.024 mm. KeywordsAnalgo-to-Digital converter; ultra-low power; Successive Approximation Register; sensor applications.

Digital wireless communication applications such as UWB and WPAN necessitate low-power high-speed ADCs to convert RF/IF signals into digital form for subsequent baseband processing. Considering latency and conversion speed, flash ADCs are often the most preferred option. Generally, flash ADCs suffer from high power consumption and large area overhead. On the contrary, SAR ADCs have low power di...
