A 13-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is designed in 0.35 μm CMOS technology that reduces the power consumption through sharing the resources between pipeline stages. Using a dummy sample-and-hold (S/H) and recirculating concept the requirements for the first stage are relaxed and the design restrictions are resolved. This ADC does not use a dedicated S/H and reaches a speed of 50 MS/s. The design is tested with TSMC mixed-signal 0.35 μm technology and post layout simulations shows over 75 dB Signal-to-Noise and Distortion-Ratio (SNDR) and over 85 dB Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) at the Nyquist frequency. The designed chip occupies an area of 1.3 mm–0.7 mm and consumes 164 mW power at Nyquist from a 3.3 V supply.

Analog-to-information converter (AIC) plays an important role in the compressed sensing system; it has the potential to significantly extend the capabilities of conventional analog-to-digital converter. This paper evaluates the impact of AIC nonlinearity on the dynamic performance in practical compressed sensing system, which included the nonlinearity introduced by quantization as well as the circuit non-ideality. It presents intuitive yet quantitative insights into the harmonics of quantization output of AIC, and the effect of other AIC nonlinearity on the spurious dynamic range (SFDR) performance is also analyzed. The analysis and simulation results demonstrated that, compared with conventional ADC-based system, the measurement process decorrelates the input signal and the quantization error and alleviate the effect of other decorrelates of AIC, which results in a dramatic increase in spurious free dynamic range (SFDR).

This paper presents a charge redistributed successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC). Compared with the traditional Digital-Analog Convertor (DAC), the power consumption of the DAC scheme is reduced by 90%, the area is reduced by 60%. The test chip fabricated in 180 nm Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) occupied an active area of 0.12 mm 2 . At 10 MS/s, a signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) of 57.70 dB and a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 55.63 dB are measured with 1.68 Vpp differential-mode input signal. The total power consumption is 690 μW corresponding to 67 fJ/conversion step figure of merit.

This paper presents a low power low voltage 7bit 16MS/s SAR ADC (successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter) for the application of ZigBee receiver. The proposed 7-bit ADC is designed and simulated in 180nm RF CMOS technology. Post simulation results show that at 1.0-V supply and 16 MS/s, the ADC achieves a SNDR (signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio) and SFDR (Spurious Free Dynamic Range) are 43.6dB, 57.4dB respectively. The total power dissipation is 228μW, and it occupies a chip area of 0.525 mm2. It results in a figure-of-merit (FOM) of 0.11pJ/step.
