A 12 b 50 MS/s successive‐approximation register (SAR) ADC with a highly linear C‐R hybrid DAC is presented. The proposed DAC significantly reduces the required total number of unit capacitors by processing the upper bits based on a binary‐weighted capacitor array and the remaining lower bits based on reference segment voltages, which are obtained from a simple resistor string. The reduced number of unit capacitors enables the use of larger unit capacitance, resulting in improved matching accuracy. In the C‐R hybrid DAC, an input range scaling technique, which matches a full‐scale input range to the reference voltage range, implements the binary‐weighted SAR operation without additional capacitors and reference voltages. The DAC linearity is improved considerably through the process‐insensitive capacitor‐array layout, which cancels out oxide‐gradient errors. The prototype ADC in a 0.18 μm CMOS process demonstrates measured differential and integral non‐linearities within 0.71 LSB and 0.85 LSB at 12 b, respectively, with a maximum signal‐to‐noise‐and‐distortion ratio and a spurious‐free dynamic range of 64.3 and 74.7 dB at 50 MS/s, respectively. The ADC occupies an active die area of 0.17 mm2 and consumes 2.63 mA with a 1.8 V supply voltage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
