The present application relates to a
successive approximation ADC,
chip and analog-to-
digital conversion method based on common-mode
voltage. The method includes: a DAC
capacitor array; the DAC
capacitor array includes a positive
capacitor array, a negative capacitor array, a random
number generator and a common-mode
voltage generating circuit, the upper plates of each capacitor in the positive capacitor array and the negative capacitor array are connected in parallel and connected to the common-mode
voltage generating circuit; the positive capacitor array and the negative capacitor array include a high-order capacitor array and a low-order capacitor array, the high-order capacitor array includes a number of
thermometer-weighted high-order capacitors, the low-order capacitor array includes a number of binary-weighted low-order capacitors, and the high-order capacitor array is connected to the random
number generator; the lower plates of the high-order capacitor and the low-order capacitor are respectively connected to the reference voltage, the differential input voltage or the ground through a three-way gate switch. The use of this method can reduce the
power consumption of the SAR ADC and reduce the
impact of mismatch.
