An energy-efficient switching scheme for successive approximation register (SAR) analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) is proposed. Based on closed-loop charge recycling method, the proposed switching scheme achieves 100% less switching energy over the conventional switching scheme. Furthermore, the common-mode voltage of the comparator is always V cm and only two reference voltages are used.
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.
