Popis: In this study, a design technique for low-energy consumption and area-efficient successive approximation register analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) is presented. Digital-to-analogue conversion equivalent voltage is acquired utilising passive sharing of charge between two unit capacitors and integration of the shared charge onto an input sample-and-hold capacitor, via a switched capacitor integrator circuit. The architecture is less parasitic sensitive and low noise, yielding an area and energy-efficient ADC. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed technique, a ±350 mV 8 bit 0.78 MS/s ADC is designed in a 90 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process. The ADC core has a small area footprint of 0.00145 mm 2 and has a figure-of-merit of 11.39 fJ/conv-step.
