This paper presents a high-resolution 18-bit SAR ADC with a high 10-bit capacitor DAC and a low 8-bit resistor DAC. The total required number of the unit capacitors is decreased to 512. Foreground digital calibration based on capacitive recombination is introduced to improve linearity. Preamplifiers and output offset storage(OOS) enhance the noise and offset performance of the comparator. As a result, the design under 180 nm process achieves a signal-to-noise and distortion ratio(SNDR) of 105.5dB and a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 116.3dB under 1 MS/s sampling rate with a single channel. The effective number of bits (ENOB) can reach 17.23 bits with a Nyquist-rate input while consuming 46 mW from a 5 V supply. The resultant Schreier and Walden figures of merit (FoM) are 178.92 dB and 295.34 fJ/conversion-step, respectively. The proposed SAR ADC occupies an actual area of 3850 μ m by 2810 μ m.
