Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper presents an ultra low power and low voltage successive approximation register (SAR) analog to digital converter (ADC) that uses an adaptive timing optimized asynchronous clock generator. By calibrating the delay time of the clock generator, the DAC settling time is optimized to counter the device mismatch. Test chip has been fabricated in 40nm standard CMOS process and achieved 7.5-ENOB (Effective Number of Bits) and figure of merit (FoM) of 8.75-J/conversion-step with 2.048MS/s.
