Abstract:
This article presents a multi-rate successive approximation register (SAR)-assisted exponential-incremental (EI) pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for wireless communication applications. By employing a multi-rate scheme, the ADC harnesses the benefits of oversampling and noise-shaping (NS) techniques while avoiding bandwidth (BW) degradation. To further increase the BW to hundreds of megahertz …
