Using an oversampling ratio (OSR) of 80, the design consumes 2.8mW and achieves a simulated signal to quantization noise ratio (SQNR) of 98.2dB. The chip area is minimized by decreasing the number of digital to analog converters (DACs) by using the concept of partial integration.

We experimented both proposed and conventional logic method using industrial 7nm FinFET and achieved an area reduction by 37.5%, power reduced by 57% for the proposed method when compared to the conventional logic method. But this comes with a delay penalty of 42.2%. Since no stack effect can be observed with FinFETs we have also proposed high Fan-in gates structure and achieved a reduction in input capacitance, which was not considered in planar MOSFETs due to high input capacitance.

First, the WCHB cell approach embodies dual-rail data-encoding scheme, featuring more balanced power dissipation for different output transitions. Second, the WCHB cell approach embodies a power-constant input detector that validate the input-completeness, featuring more balanced power dissipation for different input combination. Based on 65nm CMOS process, the standard and WCHB cell approaches are simulated for 7 library cells, and compared in terms of the normalized energy deviation (NED) and normalized standard deviation (NSD).

This is achieved using integrated low-power voltage regulators and a novel dip compensation scheme. In addition, the SMPS is designed to include PWM and PFM modes to achieve high power efficiency over a wide load current range. To take advantage of the advanced 40 nm process, the PWM controller is implemented digitally.

In this work a simple source follower has been used as the analog buffer, showing sufficient linearity and significant power reduction compared to earlier work where a unity-gain OTA was used. To verify the solution, a CCP gain-stage with source follower has been implemented in design of a 14-bit two-stage pipelined SAR ADC in 0.18 µm CMOS.
