A successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with a split-capacitor switching scheme implementing the generalized non-binary redundant SAR algorithm and an energy efficient level shifter is proposed for bio-implanted applications. The generalized non-binary redundant SAR algorithm removes the radix constraint in conventional non-binary redundant SAR algorithm, and the energy efficient level shifter allows optimal power supplies to be chosen independently for the analog and digital blocks. A FOM of 34.7fJ/step has been achieved.
本文提出了一种用于生物植入应用的逐次逼近型模数转换器(SAR ADC),该转换器采用了实现广义非二进制冗余SAR算法的分裂电容切换方案以及节能型电平转换器。广义非二进制冗余SAR算法消除了传统非二进制冗余SAR算法中的基数约束,而节能型电平转换器允许为模拟和数字模块独立选择最佳电源。该转换器实现了每步34.7fJ的优值(FOM)。
