MT-021 ADC Architectures II: Successive Approximation ADCs

نویسنده

  • Walt Kester
چکیده

The successive approximation ADC has been the mainstay of data acquisition systems for many years. Recent design improvements have extended the sampling frequency of these ADCs into the megahertz region with 18-bit resolution. The Analog Devices PulSAR family of SAR ADCs uses internal switched capacitor techniques along with auto calibration and offers 18-bits at 2 MSPS (AD7641) on CMOS processes without the need for expensive thin-film laser trimming. At the 16-bit level, the AD7625 (6 MSPS) and AD7626 (10 MSPS) also represent breakthrough technology.

DESIGN OF 16-BIT SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER IN 180nm CMOS TECHNOLOY

Nowadays, a larger percentage of mixedsignal applications require energy limited system solutions. Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) are critical component in most of such systems, hence the stringent requirements on energy consumption requests the ADC design to be low power. Among various ADC architectures, we chose to implement a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) ADC that is one of th...

Pipeline and SAR ADCs for Advanced Nodes

The energy efficiency of ADCs has improved by orders of magnitude over the past two decades. Even though process scaling degrades the analog characteristics of transistors, by exploiting, scaling the energy efficiency of recently reported ADCs is approaching fundamental limits [1]. These improvements have been achieved through innovative circuit ideas and through the evolution of ADC architectu...

Increase Dynamic Range of Sar Adcs Using Oversampling

In some previous articles general overviews of Δ-Σ and SAR (successive approximation register) ADCs, the techniques of oversampling as it relates to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and effective number of bits (ENOB) have been covered. The oversampling technique is most often used with the Δ-Σ ADC, but it is also useful with the SAR ADC. In this article we will dive in a bit deeper to see how this ...

Systematic Design Methodology for Successive – Approximation ADCs

Successive – Approximation ADCs are widely used in ultra – low – power applications. This paper describes a systematic design procedure for designing Successive – Approximation ADCs for biomedical sensor nodes. The proposed scheme is adopted in the design of a 12 bit 1 kS/s ADC. Implemented in 65 nm CMOS, the ADC consumes 354 nW at a sampling rate of 1 kS/s operating with 1.2 supply voltage. Th...

Asymmetric monotonic switching scheme for energy-efficient SAR ADCs

Asymmetric monotonic switching scheme is proposed for a low power successive approximation register (SAR) analogue-to-digital converter (ADC). The proposed switching procedure consumes no energy from reference voltage for the first 3 MSB (most significant bit) conversion using unequal initial DAC setting and asymmetric binary search algorithm. After 3 MSB conversions, DAC switching utilizes a c...
