Abstract

This paper analyzes three passive noise shaping techniques in a SAR ADC. These passive noise shaping techniques can realize 1st and 2nd order noise shaping. These proposed opamp-less noise shaping techniques are realized by charge-redistribution. This means that the proposals maintain the basic architecture and operation principle of a charge-redistribution SAR ADC. Since the proposed techniques work in a passive mode, the proposals have high power efficiency. Meanwhile, the proposed noise shaping SAR ADCs are robust to feature size scaling and power supply reduction. Flicker noise is not introduced into the ADC by passive noise shaping techniques. Therefore, no additional calibration techniques for flicker noise are required. The noise shaping effects of the 1st and 2nd order noise shaping are verified by behavioral simulation results. The relationship between resolution improvement and oversampling rate is also explored in this paper.
