However, it suffers from quantization noise leakage caused by the mismatch between the analogue NS filter and the digital cancellation filter, which greatly degrades the ADC performance. The sturdy MASH topology of the ΣΔ ADC can solve the leakage issue, but it cannot be implemented using the NS SAR ADC due to structural limitations. This paper proposes a sturdy MASH 2-0 NS SAR to solve the noise leakage issue. The 4<sup>th</sup>-order NS is achieved by only using a 2-0 topology, which is hardware efficient. Instead of eliminating the first-stage quantization error, the proposed sturdy MASH 2-0 NS SAR shapes it, achieving better robustness to PVT variables. Furthermore, owing to the first-stage 2<sup>nd</sup>-order NS capability, the impairments of the residue amplifier, including the gain error and nonlinearity, are 2<sup>nd</sup>-order shaped.

By leveraging the ultra-local model, a novel combined control strategy is devised, utilizing the CESO and a model-free sliding mode control.
