An 8-bit, 100-MSPS fully dynamic SAR ADC for ultra-high speed image sensor
Résumé
In this paper, a dynamic and power efficient 8-bit and
100-MSPS Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog-to-
Digital Converter (ADC) is presented. The circuit uses a nondifferential
capacitive Digital-to-Analog (DAC) architecture
segmented by 2. The prototype is produced in a commercial 65-nm
1P7M CMOS technology with 1.2-V supply voltage. The size of the
core ADC is 208.6 x 103.6 μm2. The post-layout noise simulation
results feature a SNR of 46.9 dB at Nyquist frequency, which means
an effective number of bit (ENOB) of 7.5-b. The total power
consumption of this SAR ADC is only 1.55 mW at 100-MSPS. It
achieves then a figure of merit of 85.6 fJ/step.
