A 10-bit 50-MS/s SAR ADC With a Monotonic Capacitor Switching Procedure

Volume: 45, Issue: 4, Pages: 731 - 740

Abstract
This paper presents a low-power 10-bit 50-MS/s successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that uses a monotonic capacitor switching procedure. Compared to converters that use the conventional procedure, the average switching energy and total capacitance are reduced by about 81% and 50%, respectively. In the switching procedure, the input common-mode voltage gradually converges to ground. An improved comparator...
