-This paper presents a 14-bit 1.5 MSample/s two-stage algorithmic ADC with a power-and-area efficiency better than 0.5 pJmm 2 per conversion. This competes with the most efficient architectures available today namely, ΣΔ and self-calibrated pipeline. The 2 stages of the ADC are based on a new 1.5-bit mismatch-insensitive MDAC and simulations demonstrate that a THD of -79 dB and an ENOB better than 12 bits can be reached without self-calibration.
