Abstract:

This article presents a 12-bit, 1-GS/s SAR-assisted pipelined ADC implemented in 28-nm CMOS featuring accurate residue amplification (RA) with low gain variation. A dual-path residue amplifier embeds an open-loop gain-error-cancellation path within the closed-loop amplification path, providing accurate gain and robust gain stability without additional timing or power overhead. …
