Successive-approximation ADCs (SA-ADCs) have found a wide range of applications requiring low speed and moderate resolution, very-high speed and low resolution or even high speed and high resolution Low-power SA-ADCs have been widely used in low-speed biomedical applications with a limited power budget.Several attempts have been reported in order to reduce the power consumption of the ADC with an emphasis on the employed capacitive DAC. In this paper, both the capacitive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and the comparator are modified from the typical structure. The conventional structure of an SA-ADC, consists of a sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit, a comparator, a successive approximation register (SAR), and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).Among them DAC has greater importance, which consumes major power in the ADC module.So by careful designing of DAC module its possible to reduce the power consumption to a great extend. By modifying the existing Conventional DAC architecture, ,its found that the power consumption of the DAC is significantly reduced.In the exsiting Conventional DAC power consumption is found to be about 12mW. But in modified architecture power consumption is reduced to 7mW.So it is stated that by using modified DAC module its possible to work the ADC in low power applications
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
