A low power 12-bit, 20 MS/s asynchronously controlled successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to be used in wireless access for vehicular environment (WAVE) intelligent transportation system (ITS) sensor based application is presented in this paper. To optimize the architecture with respect to power consumption and performance, several techniques are proposed. A switching method which employs the common mode charge recovery (CMCR) switching process is presented for capacitive digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) part to lower the switching energy. The switching technique proposed in our work consumes 56.3% less energy in comparison with conventional CMCR switching method. For high speed operation with low power consumption and to overcome the kick back issue in the comparator part, a mutated dynamic-latch comparator with cascode is implemented. In addition, to optimize the flexibility relating to the performance of logic part, an asynchronous topology is employed. The structure is fabricated in 65 nm CMOS process technology with an active area of 0.14 mm2. With a sampling frequency of 20 MS/s, the proposed architecture attains signal-to-noise distortion ratio (SNDR) of 65.44 dB at Nyquist frequency while consuming only 472.2 µW with 1 V power supply.

A design of low-power 10-bit 1 MS/s asynchronous successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) is presented in this paper. To improve the linearity of the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and energy efficiency, a common mode-based monotonic charge recovery (CMMC) switching technique is proposed. The proposed switching technique consumes only 63.75 CVREF2 switching energy, which is far less as compared to the conventional switching technique without dividing or adding additional switches. In addition, bootstrap switching is implemented to ensure enhanced linearity. To reduce the power consumption from the comparator, a dynamic latch comparator with a self-comparator clock generation circuit is implemented. The proposed prototype of the SAR ADC is implemented in a 55 nm CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) process. The proposed architecture achieves a figure of merit (FOM) of 17.4 fJ/conversion, signal-to-noise distortion ratio (SNDR) of 60.39 dB, and an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 9.74 bits with a sampling rate of 1 MS/s at measurement levels. The implemented SAR ADC consumes 14.8 µW power at 1 V power supply.

The design objective is to implement a Low power, High speed and High resolution Flash ADC with increased sampling rate. To make this possible the blocks of ADC are analyzed. The resistive ladder, comparator block, encoder block are the major modules of flash ADC. Firstly, the comparator block is designed so that it consumes low power. A NMOS latch based, PMOS LATCH based and a Strong ARM Latch based comparators were designed separately. A comparative analysis is made with the comparator designs. Comparators in the design is reduced to half by using time domain interpolation. Then a reference subtraction block is designed to generate the subtraction value of voltages easily and its given as input to comparator. Then a more efficient and low power consuming fat tree encoder is designed. Once all the blocks were ready, a 8 bit Flash Analog to Digital Converter was designed using 90nm CMOS technology and all the parameters such as sampling rate, power consumption, resolution were obtained and compared with other works.

A novel-based Dual-Split-Array-Three-Section (DSATS) capacitor DAC (DSATS-CDAC) is employed to increase the linearity and energy efficiency of the digital-to-analog converter (DAC), additional advantage of this work is that, the area is reduced by 59.76% of conventional design. The proposed switching technique of the (DSATS-CDAC) consumes less switching energy. Additionally, bootstrap switching is employed to ensure improved linearity and reduced power consumption.in order to enhance the speed of operation and increase the precision a preamplifier latch based comparator is implemented with the delay of 250ps. The proposed SAR-ADC prototype is implemented in a 90nm CMOS process and consumes a power of 42.8mW at 1V operating supply.

Error Suppression

High speed encoder is the key element of high speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Therefor the type of encoder, the type of code, bubble error suppression and bit synchronization must be taken into careful consideration especially for folding and interpolating ADC. To reduce the bubble error which may resulted from the circuit niose, comparator metastability and other interference, the output of quantizer is first encoded with gray code and then converted to binary code. This high speed encoder is verified in the whole time-interleaved ADC with 0.18 Bi-CMOS technology, the whole ADC can achieve a SNR of 45 dB at the sampling rate of 5GHz and input frequency of 495MHz, meanwhile a bit error rate (BER) of less than 10-16 is ensured by this design.
