This metric provides an overall view of an ADC’s DC performance. Q: What about the AC performance? A: The AC performance depends on the ADC’s architecture. Common ones are the delta-sigma [1], ...

In a SAR ADC, this process is accomplished using a comparator, a digital-to-analog converter, and a successive approximation register. However, at the current process level, due to factors such as ...

This is a fast way to get one of 8 bits to indicate an input voltage, but that’s only the equivalent of a 3-bit analog to digital converter (ADC). To get more bits, you have to use a smarter ...

A successive approximation register ADC works by quickly cycling through all possible voltage levels in its input range, eventually zeroing in on the voltage of the input signal at that moment and ...

ABCs of ADCs ADCs convert an analog signal input to a digital output code. ADC measurements deviate from the ideal due to variations in the manufacturing process common to all integrated circuits (ICs ...

This paper presents a 10 bit successive approximation ADC in 65 nm CMOS that benefits from technology scaling. It meets extremely low power requirements by using a charge-redistribution DAC that uses ...

In a nutshell, these use a coarse (~6bit) successive approximation ADC to set, via a DAC, the references of a ΣΔ converter – the latter is effectively zoomed into the quantisation step identified by ...

The Successive Approximation ADC is the ADC of choice for low-cost medium to high-resolution applications, the resolution for SAR ADCs ranges from 8 - 18 bits, with sample speeds up to 5 mega-samples ...

A successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with a switched-capacitor programmable gain switched preamplifier (SC PGSA), as a basic component of an integrated ultra-low ...
