Six-bit, reusable comparator stage-based asynchronous binary-search SAR ADC using smart switching network.

A reusable comparator stage-based asynchronous binary-search Successive Approximation Register (SAR) analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) with a smart reference range prediction network is presented in this brief. The proposed architecture has an advantageous merit of using only N comparators in comparison with original binary-search ADC and flash ADC. The design uses selection logic which selects ...
