Problems solved by technology

In order to control the accuracy, it is usually necessary to add capacitance DUMMY around Cs and Cx, so that the layout of this circuit between stages is usually abrupt, the area utilization rate is low, and the actual manufacturing accuracy is not good, which limits the resolution of small-area DACs. rate increase, while being extremely sensitive to process parameters

Abstract

The invention relates to a small-area DAC capacitor array for an SAR type ADC. The DAC capacitor array corresponds to a C-2C ladder resistance network circuit and is composed of multiple repetitive units horizontally distributed in a compact mode. Each repetitive unit comprises a bit capacitor Cn, a parasitic capacitor Cp, an inter-pole capacitor Cs and an inter-pole shunt capacitor Cx, wherein the parasitic capacitor Cp and the bit capacitor Cn share an anode, the cathode of the parasitic capacitor Cp and the cathode of the bit capacitor Cn are grounded, one end of the inter-pole shunt capacitor Cx is connected with the anode of the bit capacitor Cn after the inter-pole shunt capacitor Cx and the inter-pole capacitor Cs are connected in parallel, and the other end of the inter-pole shunt capacitor Cx is connected with the anode of the bit capacitor Cn of the adjacent repetitive unit. Transverse parasitic capacitors Cx0 are arranged between the bit capacitors Cn and between the inter-pole capacitors Cs, and longitudinal parasitic capacitors Cp0 are arranged between the bit capacitors Cn and between the inter-pole capacitors Cs. Compared with the prior art, the small-area DAC capacitor array has the advantages of being high in resolution ratio, small in area, high in utilization rate and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a DAC capacitor array, in particular to a small-area DAC capacitor array for SAR ADC. Background technique [0002] A SAR (Successive Approximation Register) type ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) is a common integrated circuit ADC structure for moderate to high resolution applications with sampling rates below 5Msps (million samples per second). The resolution of the SAR ADC is generally 8 to 16 bits, and it has the characteristics of low power consumption and small size. These characteristics make this type of ADC have a wide range of applications. An important part related to accuracy in SAR ADC - DAC has a variety of structures, and the common ones are pure resistance type, resistance-capacitor hybrid type, and pure capacitance (charge redistribution) type. Among them, the pure capacitive DAC is widely used because of its low noise and high manufacturing precision. [0003] Purely capacitive DACs generally use metal-insu...
