  Abstract

This paper proposed a low power CMOS Flash-SAR A/D converter which consists of a Flash A/D converter for 2 most significant bits and a SAR A/D converter with capacitor D/A converter for 8 least significant bits. Employment of a Flash A/D converter allows the proposed circuit to enhance the conversion speed. The SAR A/D converter with capacitor D/A converter provides a low power dissipation. The proposed A/D converter consumes 136μW with a power supply of 1V under a 0.18μm CMOS process and achieves 9.16 effective number of bits for sampling frequency up to 2MHz. Therefore it results in 120fJ/step of Figure of Merit (FoM).
