Based on the typical structure of SAR ADC, some effective techniques including bootstrapped sampling-switch used to suppress nonlinear distortion, dynamic comparator to reduce power dissipation and the offset-calibration to ensure conversion accuracy have been employed. The off-chip search algorithm is developed against the harmonic distortion resulted from capacitor mismatch. Simulation with parasitism extracted from the layout demonstrates that the ADC achieves signal-to-noise-and-distortion-ratio (SNDR) of 94.3dB at 1MSamples/s, 500KHz input frequency and consumes 44mW from a 1.8V power supply. With the 0.18μm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process and metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor, the ADC core including decoupling capacitors occupies an active area of 1.0mm×1.4mm.","PeriodicalId":333267,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-state Circuits","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130282304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
