Summary: | 碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 電子工程系 === 90 === A successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on a new segmented digital-to-analog converter (DAC) architecture is presented. A more efficient method which is the bi-direction segmented current-mode approach is proposed to implement the high-resolution and high speed DAC. This DAC has the maximum integral nonlinearity (INL) error of 0.47 LSB, and the maximum differential nonlinearity (DNL) error of 0.154 LSB. Based on this new DAC, a 3-V, 8-bit, 2-MS/s ADC is realized. The whole circuit is implemented by the TSMC 1P4M 0.35μm CMOS process. The experimental results show that the INL of ADC is less than 0.82 LSB. Meanwhile, the DNL is less than 0.31 LSB. The power consumption is only 2.6mW with the effective number of bits of 7.
