A 12 bit Two-step SAR ADC for High-Speed CMOS Image Sensor Applications

초록/요약

A 12bit 250 kS/s CMOS a successive approximation register Analog to digital converter (SAR ADC) for voltage domain sensor application is presented in this thesis. The SAR ADC has trade-off between size and high resolution specification. The capacitor array in high resolution SAR ADC has size problem because total capacitance of capacitor array increase exponentially as the ADC resolution increase. To overcome this issue, the proposed SAR ADC is used the resistor array with the capacitor array. Also the proposed SAR ADC applied addition-only digital error correction(ADEC) algorithm. The ADEC algorithm has the redundant decision cycles between the capacitor DAC with the resistor DAC. A prototype ADC was implemented in a 90-nm CMOS technology. The chip consumes 145 μW under a 2.8-V supply. The ADC core occupies an active area of 0.011mm × 0.95mm.
