摘要

This paper presents a technique that utilizes comparator timing information to accelerate successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) conversion process. With the scaling down of power supply voltage, the comparator delay is exponentially increasing. Thus, more information can be potentially extracted from the comparator transient response. In the proposed approach, the comparator delay is compared with multiple timing reference levels. Based on such timing information as well as the comparator logic output, the search space can be more quickly refined compared to the conventional SAR ADC scheme that only relies on the comparator logic output. The paper also investigates how to optimally select such timing reference levels while considering their associated uncertainties. To demonstrate its effectiveness, the proposed technique is used in the design of a 0.5 V 10-bit SAR ADC with four auxiliary levels. Simulations show that the maximum number of conversion cycles of the ADC is 6 and in average it only takes 5.04 conversion cycles to complete the conversion process.
