The invention discloses a Vcm-based
capacitor switch sequential circuit and a Vcm-based
capacitor switch
sequential method. A first array first
capacitor bank, a second array first capacitor
bank,..., an ith array first capacitor
bank, a first array second capacitor bank, a second array second capacitor bank,..., a jth array second capacitor bank, a first array dummy capacitor bank and a second array dummy capacitor bank in the switch sequence circuit respectively comprise two capacitors which are connected in parallel and have the same
capacitance value, according to the improved capacitor array structure, each capacitor is divided into two equal capacitors, the two equal capacitors can be connected with different potentials through a lower
electrode plate to achieve three different
voltage connection methods, namely Vref, 1 / 2 Vref and GND, the
equivalent circuit structure of the capacitor array structure is basically consistent with Vcm-based, but Vcm is equal to 1 / 2 Vref through the arrangement of the two equal capacitors, and the
equivalent circuit structure of the capacitor array structure is not equal to GND. The improved Vcm-based capacitor switch
time sequence does not need an additional circuit to generate a common-mode level Vcm, does not need a complex bootstrap switch structure, reduces the
power consumption and the area, and is suitable for the design of a low-
voltage SAR ADC (
Synthetic Aperture Radar Analog to Digital Converter).
