This paper presents a linearity improved 10-bit 120-MS/s successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with high-speed and low-noise dynamic comparator. A gate cross-coupled technique is introduced in boost sampling switch, the clock feedthrough effect is compensated without extra auxiliary switch and the linearity of sampling switch is enhanced. Further, substrate voltage boost technique is proposed, the absolute values of threshold voltage and equivalent impedances of MOSFETs are both depressed. Consequently, the delay of comparator is also reduced. Moreover, the reduction of threshold voltages for input MOSFETs could bring higher transconductance and lower equivalent input noise. To demonstrate the proposed techniques, a design of SAR ADC is fabricated in 65-nm CMOS technology, consuming 1.5[Formula: see text]mW from 1[Formula: see text]V power supply with a SNDR [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB and SFDR [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB. The proposed ADC core occupies an active area of 0.021[Formula: see text]mm2, and the corresponding FoM is 24.4 fJ/conversion-step with Nyquist frequency.

This paper presents an eight-channel time-interleaved (TI) 2.6 GS/s 8-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) prototype in a 55-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. The channel-selection-embedded bootstrap switch is adopted to perform sampling times synchronization using the full-speed master clock to suppress the time skew between channels. Based on the segmented pre-quantization and bypass switching scheme, double alternate comparators clocked asynchronously with background offset calibration are utilized in sub-channel SAR ADC to achieve high speed and low power. Measurement results show that the signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) of the ADC is above 38.2 dB up to 500 MHz input frequency and above 31.8 dB across the entire first Nyquist zone. The differential non-linearity (DNL) and integral non-linearity (INL) are +0.93/−0.85 LSB and +0.71/−0.91 LSB, respectively. The ADC consumes 60 mW from a 1.2 V supply, occupies an area of 400 μm × 550 μm, and exhibits a figure-of-merit (FoM) of 348 fJ/conversion-step.

As power consumption is one of the major issues in biomedical implantable devices, in this paper, a novel quantization method is proposed for successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) which can save 80% power consumption in contrast to conventional structure for electroencephalogram (EEG) signal recording systems. According to the characteristics of neural signals, the principle of the proposed power saving technique was inspired such that only the difference between current input sample and the previous one is quantized, using a power efficient SAR ADC with fewer resolutions. To verify the proposed quantization scheme, the ADC is systematically modeled in Matlab and designed and simulated in circuit level using 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS technology. When applied to neural signal acquisition, spice simulations show that at sampling rate of 25[Formula: see text]kS/s, the proposed 8-bit ADC consumes 260[Formula: see text]nW of power from 1.8[Formula: see text]V supply voltage while achieving 7.1 effective number of bits.

In any processing system, the core data path element may be a multiplier that particularly associated with DSP applications, which concludes overall processing unit performance. In such system, the multiplier unit improves the performance will boost up the potential. The Cadence EDA performs for high-speed multiplier evaluation consisting 64 x 64 bit in ASIC Digital flow (RTL-GDSII). Using carry select adder and carry save adder, the proposed multiplier intend with Wallace structure for enhancing the speed criteria. Wallace rebate absorbs more time for designing because it is more complex and aberrant in format for better width. Real Time signal processor requires high productive capacity and fewer reaction time. A classic scheme could be today in IOT utilizations. The proposed method concentrates on designing low power and area efficient in digital flow using the Wallace tree algorithm. The 180 nm CMOS technology for pursuance and outcome are related with other existing methods in delay, area and dynamic power dissipation.
