Abstracts :
SAR ADCs have shown great promise for low-power design. The speed of SAR architectures can be improved through the use of interleaving or multi-bit conversion, each posing its own trade-offs. Specifically, multi-bit schemes employ several DACs, incurring a large area penalty and a high input capacitance.
This presentation proposes the use of VCOs as multi-bit quantizers in a SAR environment. Resolving 3 bits per cycle, this approach also allows shorter LSB conversion times by adjusting the VCO gain on the fly. A 40-nm CMOS prototype incorporates two VCOs and a TDC along with background calibration. The 12-Bit 200-Ms/s ADC consumes 3.4 mW with a 0.85-V supply. At the Nyquist rate, the SNDR is 68 dB and the FOM 8 fJ/conv. step.
