Embodiment Construction

[0026] As mentioned in the background art, the performance of the SAR-DAC device formed by the prior art is poor.

[0027] A SAR-DAC device, please refer to figure 1 , including: two circuit units, each circuit unit includes: a comparator 100, a capacitance matrix unit 110 and a sampling switch.

[0028] Due to the use of multiple circuit units, the number of times of charge redistribution is reduced under the same number of comparisons, and the speed is improved.

[0029] However, for a five-bit precision data, 64 capacitors of 90 fF are used in one capacitance matrix unit 110 , and most of the layout area in the SAR-DAC device is occupied by the capacitance matrix unit 110 . The two circuits of circuit units make the SAR-DAC device have two capacitance matrix units 110, and the total area of ​​the capacitance matrix is ​​larger, resulting in a larger layout area in the SAR-DAC device and an increase in cost.

[0030] On this basis, the present invention provides a SAR-DAC ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuits, in particular to a SAR-DAC device and a working method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to the growing demand for high-quality multimedia and high-speed communications, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designs are moving toward high precision, high sampling rates, and low power consumption. Among them, the design of low power consumption is particularly important for portable devices. [0003] The successive approximation digital-to-analog converter (SAR-DAC) is a well-recognized low-power DAC structure. Although the speed and accuracy of the approximation analog-to-digital converter is average, the successive approximation analog-to-digital converter is widely used because of its low power consumption and can meet most market needs. [0004] However, the performance of the existing successive approximation analog-to-digital converters still needs to be improved. SUMMARY OF THE I...
