Abstract

In this letter, a low-voltage passive first-order noise shaping charge-redistribution successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with energy-efficient switching method is proposed. The energy-efficient switching method is achieved by one-side switching instead (OSSI) method and higher-bit switching instead (HBSI) method. The architecture is modified to realize the noise-shaping loop properly. We present a passive integrator with a dynamic DC offset to address the path gain error from the varying voltage on the capacitor array at each quantization step. Simulation results on a 180nm CMOS technology operated at 0.6V supply and 25kHz sampling rate show 130nW power consumption with a peak SNDR of 70.3dB.
