jp Abstract This paper describes techniques for creating a low-power SAR ADC with an error-correcting non-binary successive approximation algorithm: (1) We propose a non-binary SAR ADC with two dynamic comparators; a low-power high-noise comparator for the first conversion stages, and a second comparator with lower noise but higher power consumption for the last stages. Comparator decision errors – due to the high noise of the first conversion stages, and offset mismatch between the two comparators – are digitally corrected by the error-correcting non-binary successive approximation algorithm. (2) For realizing low power consumption, a charge-sharing SAR ADC using a binary successive approximation algo-rithm would be attractive. However the comparator offset in the ADC degrades the ADC linearity, and this offset is usually calibrated by an analog method. Here we propose a charge-sharing SAR ADC with an error-correcting non-binary algorithm, and with digital correction of comparator offset, so that analog calibration is not required. (3) We also propose a non-binary charge-sharing SAR ADC with two dynamic comparators, which is the combination of (1) and (2). This makes further low power implementation possible without analog calibration.
