Title
A 1.8-V 12-Bit Self-Calibrating Sar Adc With A Novel Comparator
Abstract
A 1.8-V 12-bit fully differential self-calibrating SAR ADC is presented in a standard 0.18-mu m CMOS technology. To improve the SNDR and achieve a low core area, it adapts a capacitive self-calibrating method. The way to estimate the calibration range is discussed. Based on a minimizing capacitance principle, a novel comparator is proposed to enhance speed and save power. At the speed of 6 MS/s, the ADC achieves 11.3 ENOB by Spectre simulation, with estimated comparator offset of 30mV and unit capacitor mismatch of 4% sigma. It consumes 839 mu W for the analog part.
