A novel Capacitor array structure for Successive Approximation Register (SAR) ADC is proposed. This circuit efficiently utilizes charge recycling to achieve high-speed of operation and it can be applied to high-speed and low-to-medium-resolution SAR ADC. The parasitic effects and the static linearity performance, namely, the INL and DNL, of the proposed structure are theoretically analyzed and behavioral simulations are performed to demonstrate its effectiveness under those nonidealities. Simulation results show that to achieve the same conversion performance the proposed capacitor array structure can reduce the average power consumed from the reference ladder by 90% when compared to the binary-weighted splitting capacitor array structure.

Mismatch and parasitic effects of bridge capacitors in successive-approximation-register analog-to-digital converter’s (SAR-ADC) split capacitor digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) cause a significant performance deterioration. This paper presents a nonlinearity analysis based on an analytical model, and a modified calibration method utilizing a pre-bias bridge capacitor is accordingly proposed. The proposed method, which uses three-segment split capacitor DAC structure, can effectively eliminate over-calibration error caused by conventional structure. To verify the technique, a 14-bit SAR-ADC has been designed in 0.35-[Formula: see text]m 2P4M CMOS process with the PIP capacitor, and the simulation results show the method can further improve ADC performance.
