一种新型跟踪式逐次逼近模数转换器

A New Tracking SAR ADC

  • 摘要: 为了降低功耗和复杂度, 采用复用量化器结构, 而不需要传统结构中的减法和数模转换器模块(DAC), 实现一低功耗简单的跟踪式模数转换器.量化器采用8bit电容单调式切换的逐次逼近模数转换器(SAR ADC).另外为了进一步提高效率, SAR ADC中的比较器采用时间域比较器实现.经过在90 nm CMOS工艺下仿真验证, 设计的ADC采样速度16 MHz, 8倍过采样率(OSR).经过数字滤波处理, 输入信号频率为227 kHz时, 可以实现59.6 dB的信噪失真比(SNDR), 功耗28.5 μW, 品质因数(FOM) 18.4 fJ/step.另外, 由于转换过程主要在数字域实现, 这种ADC便于移植到更先进的工艺, 并获得更好的效率.

     

    Abstract: This paper presents a tracking analog-to-digital converter (ADC).By reusing the quantizer, the tracking ADC no long needs subtraction and digital-to-analog (DAC) module that the conventional structure needs.This technique could decrease the power consumption and the chip area.The quantizer adopts 8-bit monotonic switching scheme successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC.In addition, to further increase efficiency, a time domain comparator is used to replace the analog domain comparator.This ADC is simulated in a 90 nm CMOS technique.It works with 16 MHz sampling rate, 8 over sampling rate (OSR).It achieves 59.6 dB SNDR for an input signal around 227 KHz with the help of a simple digital low pass filter.Counting in the filter, it consumes 28.5 μW power under 1-Vsupply.The figure-of-merit (FOM) is 18.4 fJ/STEP.In addition, such topology bring us the advantage of easy design migration among technology nodes for seeking greater efficiency improvement.
