A 14-b 65.3-dB SNDR 200-MS/s Coarse-fine SAR ADC with Rail-to-Rail Input Common Mode Range in 28-nm CMOS
摘要
A single-channel 200-MS/s 14-bit successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is presented. To enhance the ADC accuracy and speed, three key techniques are adopted. Firstly, a coarse-fine architecture is utilized to increase settling time of MSB capacitor in the fine DAC equivalently. A unified bootstrap circuit shared by both the coarse and fine sampling networks is also employed to minimize timing skew between two sampling networks, reducing sampling mismatch error. Secondly, an inverter-based hybrid-mode pre-amplifier accelerates large-signal recovery while suppressing kickback noise in small-signal conditions, improving both speed and dynamic linearity. Thirdly, a replica-bias-based common-mode feedback (CMFB) scheme employs active common-mode regulation to stabilize the inverter-based pre-amplifier, addressing its sensitivity to input common-mode voltage as well as process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations.
