摘要: 提出了一种针对逐次逼近型(SAR)模数转换器(ADC)中比较器失调和噪声容忍的低功耗模型. 该模型在前n-m-1个比较周期引入一个快速低功耗的"差"比较器, 从而减少高性能大功耗的"好"比较器的工作周期, 并且通过第m+2周期的冗余电容和正常比较器的输出修正低功耗比较器的误差, 从而实现单个"好"比较器工作时的性能. 模型的容忍能力达到±2mLSB(最小权重位). 基于该模型, 在0.13μm CMOS(互补金属氧化物半导体)工艺下设计并仿真了一个10位100MS/s SAR ADC. 版图提取参数后仿真得到SAR ADC在1.2V电源下能够达到9.27位有效位数(ENOB), 以及2.01mW的功耗和33fJ/conv的品质因数(FoM).Abstract: A lower power digital correction model for comparator offset and noise tolerance of successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is presented. A fine comparator with smaller offset and noise has penalty of higher power and lower speed. This model involves a faster coarse comparator with less power in the first (n-m-1) cycles to relax those penalties. The errors of the coarse comparator are tolerated by the fine comparator through the redundant comparison cycle and the capacitor at (m+2) cycle. This model is able to tolerate noise and offset errors up to ±2m least significant bit (LSB). A prototype of 10 bit 100 MS/s SAR ADC with this model is simulated in a 0.13μm CMOS technology. The post-simulation results of the prototype layout witnessed an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 9.27 bit are achieved at 100 MS/s with a power consumption of 2.01mW under 1.2V supply, resulting in a figure of merit (FoM) of 33fJ/conv.
