2nd-Order Pipelined Noise-Shaping SAR ADC Using Error-Feedback Structure.

This paper presents a pipelined noise-shaping SAR (PLNS-SAR) ADC for high SNDR, wide bandwidth, and low power consumption. The proposed design achieves a sharp second-order NTF of an error feedback structure, without a multi-input comparator and additional residue amplifier. Additionally, the SNDR is improved via zero optimization. Additionally, the speed is enhanced via prediction logic and alternately using the passive switched capacitor FIR filter. This consequently achieves the high-power efficiency of the ADC. The simulated SNDR is 79.97 dB; it achieves a 12.5-MHz BW at a 175-MHz sampling rate, with OSR of 7. The total power consumption of the ADC is 4.27 mW at a 1.1-V supply. The FoM S , SNDR is 174.6 dB. The proposed structure achieves high resolution and wide bandwidth with good energy efficiency.
