Multi-Step Switching Methods for SAR ADCs

چکیده
This paper presents multi-step capacitor switching methods for SAR ADCs based on precharge with floating capacitors and charge sharing. The proposed switching methods further reduce the transient power of the split monotonic switching method (an improved version of the monotonic switching method). Compared to the split monotonic switching, adding charge sharing achieves around 50% reduction in switching power. Using precharge with floating capacitors and charge sharing simultaneously, the switching power reduces around 75%. The proposed switching methods do not require additional intermediate reference voltages.

A novel multi-reference capacitor switching scheme for ultralow power successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs is proposed. By using 5 references, the proposed switching scheme only dissipates 10.6 CVREF average energy and requires 256 unit capacitors, which are reduced by 99.2% and 87.5%, compared to the conventional structure. Besides, the common-mode voltage of the comparator input is ap...

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...

Communication devices such as 60GHz-band receivers and serial links demand power-efficient low-resolution gigahertz-sampling-rate ADCs. However, the energy efficiency of ADCs is degraded by scaling up transistor widths in the building blocks for high speed, thus increasing the impact of intrinsic parasitics. Parallel schemes like multi-bit processing and interleaving [1], can ease the problems ...
