A Zero-Static-Power ADC With Integrated Dynamic Reference and Driver-Free Operation Achieving 58.6 dB SNDR From –40 °C to 85 °C 150 150
Author(s): Yiming Wang, Yihang Luan, Zhiliang Hong, Jiawei Xu

Abstract:

This letter presents a 10-bit ENOB charge-sharing SAR ADC with a fully integrated dynamic bandgap reference (BGR), enabling first-order noise shaping and ultralow-power (ULP) operation. The charge-sharing ADC and dynamic BGR form an ideal pair: both operate without static current, allowing compact integration and high precision. The SAR uses only …

A 92.1-dB SNDR Easy-Driving Two-Step NS-SAR-Based Incremental ADC With Concurrent Gain-Error Plus Noise Suppression

A 92.1-dB SNDR Easy-Driving Two-Step NS-SAR-Based Incremental ADC With Concurrent Gain-Error Plus Noise Suppression 150 150
Author(s): Chenyang Li, Tzu-Han Wang, Dongsuk Kang, Ken Li, Xitie Zhang, Wei-En Lee, Visvesh S. Sathe, Shaolan Li

Abstract:

This article presents a two-step incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that achieves high resolution and energy efficiency while substantially easing the input driving constraints and interstage gain variation. By employing a level-shifted sub-ranging architecture with an input-tracking (IT) feature, the design obviates direct input sampling, thereby significantly relaxing the demands on …

An Incremental Noise-Shaping Pipeline ADC With Single-Amplification-Based kT/C Noise Cancellation Technique

An Incremental Noise-Shaping Pipeline ADC With Single-Amplification-Based kT/C Noise Cancellation Technique 150 150
Author(s): Zongnan Wang, Bingrui Li, Jiajun Tang, Zhongyi Wu, Haoyang Luo, Yuan Wang, Xiyuan Tang

Abstract:

This article presents an incremental noise-shaping (NS) pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring a single-amplification-based kT/C noise cancellation technique. By pre-amplifying the frontend sampling kT/C noise onto the capacitive digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) of the backend NS successive approximation register (SAR) quantizer, the proposed architecture eliminates the repeated amplifications typically …

A Noise-Shaping SAR-Based ExG Sensing Frontend With Dynamic Input-Impedance Boosting and Prediction-Assisted Mismatch-Shaping DEM

A Noise-Shaping SAR-Based ExG Sensing Frontend With Dynamic Input-Impedance Boosting and Prediction-Assisted Mismatch-Shaping DEM 150 150
Author(s): Yiming Han, Linran Zhao, Yaoyao Jia

Abstract:

This article presents a noise-shaping successive approximation register (NS-SAR)-based direct-digitizing electrophysiological (ExG) sensing frontend (SFE) fabricated in a standard 180-nm CMOS process. To address the challenges of large motion artifacts and high electrode–tissue impedance (ETI), we propose three key innovations in our proposed SFE that enable accurate ExG …

A Calibration-Free Pipelined-SAR ADC With Cross-Stage Gain-Mismatch Error Shaping and Inherent Noise Shaping

A Calibration-Free Pipelined-SAR ADC With Cross-Stage Gain-Mismatch Error Shaping and Inherent Noise Shaping 150 150
Author(s): Jihang Gao, Yaohui Luan, Siyuan Ye, Jiajia Cui, Xinhang Xu, Linxiao Shen

Abstract:

This article presents a calibration-free pipelined-successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on the proposed cross-stage gain-mismatch-error shaping (CS-GMES) mechanism. The CS-GMES is realized by including the entire 2nd stage into MES operation to unify the gain error and the 2nd-stage mismatch error. A feedback capacitor provides cross-stage connection and mismatch …
