一种基于时域比较器高SFDR的6-bit 20-MS/s 逐次逼近模数转换器

This paper presents a 6-bit 20-MS/s high spurious-free dynamic range(SFDR) and low power successive approximation register analog to digital converter(SAR ADC) for the radio-frequency(RF) transceiver frontend, especially for wireless sensor network(WSN) applications.This ADC adopts the modified common-centroid symmetry layout and the successive approximation register reset circuit to improve the linearity and dynamic range. Prototyped in a 0.18-μm 1P6M CMOS technology,the ADC performs a peak SFDR of 55.32 dB and effective number of bits(ENOB) of 5.1 bit for 10 MS/s.At the sample rate of 20 MS/s and the Nyquist input frequency,the 47.39-dB SFDR and 4.6-ENOB are achieved.The differential nonlinearity(DNL) is less than 0.83 LSB and the integral nonlinearity(INL) is less than 0.82 LSB.The experimental results indicate that this SAR ADC consumes a total of 522μW power and occupies 0.98 mm~2.
