Abstract

The invention discloses a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter with two-step asymmetrical alternating monotone switching. The invention adopts a multiplexing method, so the connection between the capacitor array LSBs array and the MSBs array is re-established, and in Fewer unit capacitors are switched in the first three decision cycles. Due to the use of top-plate sampling and level conversion techniques, the switching energy consumed by the LSBs array in the first two comparison cycles (MSB and MSB‑1) is zero, based on the multiplexing method and the two-step monotonic switching process, which can be clearly This ensures low switching energy from the MSB‑3 cycle until the LSB is achieved. By adopting a two-step reset method, the reset energy in the next sampling stage can be eliminated, resulting in an energy saving of 98.3%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of analog integrated circuit design, in particular to a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter with two-step asymmetric alternate monotone switching. Background technique [0002] Successive-approximation analog-to-digital converters (SAR ADCs) have been extremely influential in wireless sensor devices and high-speed communication standards due to their inherent low power consumption. Typically, the capacitive digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) of a SAR ADC accounts for a major portion of the total power consumption compared to the comparator and digital control circuitry. Researchers have put considerable effort into solving this problem, and several energy-efficient switching schemes have been published. Taking the Vcm-based switching scheme as a reference, higher-side-reset-and-set and tri-level, VMS and hybrid reduce the switching energy by 37.6%, 75.1%, 81.3% and 90.7%. In previous work, the energ...
